The Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams has disclosed plans to renovate the Cape Coast Stadium and reserve it for Black Stars matches.
He noted that renovation works will be undertaken to put the stadium in good shape and bar it from usage by football clubs and other social activities.
Speaking in an interview with 3Sports, Adams indicated that this will help keep the pitch in better shape and possibly avoid facing sanctions from CAF.
“If you look at the key stadium facilities we have, Cape Coast is the one that we will not spend so much to refurbish quickly, and not allow any club to play there. We will just keep it as a national stadium for Black Stars only, for the meantime,” he stated.
The Member of Parliament for Buem added that the Baba Yara and Accra Stadiums will be shut down for rehabilitation works soon.
“So, we would have prepared it for the September and October window when we play the next qualifiers. After that, we can close Accra and Kumasi as well and make sure they are refurbished for competitions,” he added
The Black Stars will face Chad on March 21, 2025, at the Accra Sports Stadium before facing Madagascar in an away fixture on March 24, 2025.
