Mr. Seth Panwum-Bayoyo, the Acting Director of the National Sports Authority (NSA), has disclosed that the current state of the Accra Sports Stadium meets the requirements to host Ghana’s game against Chad on March 19, 2025, in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Concerns were raised about the Accra Sports Stadium’s eligibility for the game after videos of the stadium emerged.
However, Panwum-Bayoyo debunked these claims, revealing that the stadium is in good shape following recent renovations.
“You know, since the last incident that led to the closure of the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, we have put in every effort to refurbish it. It has still been maintained to its standard to this date,” he said.
Panwum-Bayoyo further emphasized that the Ghana Football Association’s submission of the Accra Sports Stadium to CAF means Ghana’s game against Chad will be played in Accra.
“As far as we know, the GFA has submitted the stadium, and from our communication with them, the game against Chad will be played here,” he added.
Ghana currently sit second in Group I, level on points with leaders Comoros, with nine points from four matches.
