The Ashanti Regional Public Relations Officer of the National Sports Authority (NSA), Patience Adams, has stated that renovation works at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium have been completed.
She noted that the national stadium is ready to host football and sports-related events as the condition of the pitch and the facilities are in top shape.
The NSA Ashanti Regional PRO indicated that despite the completion of the rehabilitation works, their head office in Accra has yet to officially approve the facility for events.
Speaking in an interview with Akoma FM, Patience Adams assured the public that the Baba Yara Stadium is now in excellent condition.
“All work at the Baba Yara Stadium is completed and ready to host any football events, but we are awaiting clearance from our masters in Accra before the facility can be opened,” she said.
This comes after the Confederation of African Football (CAF) banned the Baba Yara Sports Stadium from hosting Black Stars matches due to the poor state of the pitch and facilities.
Due to that, the Black Stars hosted Sudan at the Accra Sports Stadium in the 2025 African Cup of Nations qualifiers, which ended in a goalless draw.
The Black Stars will host Niger in Ghana and travel to face Angola in their final two matches in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers in November 2024.
After four matches played, Ghana are third in Group F with two points, Sudan are in second place with seven points, while Angola leads with twelve points.
