Seth Panwum, Chairman of the National Sports Authority (NSA), has confirmed that both the Accra and Cape Coast stadiums are fully prepared to host the upcoming match between Ghana and Sudan in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

While an official venue for the matchday three fixture has not yet been confirmed, following the Confederation of African Football’s (CAF) decision to ban the Baba Yara Stadium due to its unplayable condition, Panwum expressed confidence in the alternative options available.

Despite speculation that the game might be moved to Ivory Coast, Panwum stated that both Cape Coast and Accra stadiums are in excellent shape to accommodate the match. He remarked, “Cape Coast is ready, Accra is ready. We invite CAF’s officials to inspect the facilities. As things stand, we are ready, and I can assure you that if they conduct their inspections, the match will take place in Ghana.”

The Black Stars are scheduled to regroup for their doubleheader against Sudan next month.
