Watch as officials ‘water’ of Baba Yara Stadium pitch ahead of Ghana’s game against Angola

The Baba Yara Stadium is currently undergoing a revamp to get the pitch in shape for the Black Stars’ 2025 AFCON qualifier against Angola.

In a video sighted by GhanaWeb, some officials were spotted watering the pitch ahead of Ghana’s match in a week.

The venue hosted a five-day church event in June, which left the pitch in a devastating condition. The pitch lost its lush green look, with the grass looking dead and brown.

The National Sports Authority (NSA) representatives in the Ashanti Region have assured fans that measures are in place to restore the pitch promptly.

“We have a robust plan, a crack field, and a maintenance team to recover the pitch and restore the facility in general in record time throughout August. Stakeholders can rest assured,” the NSA Ashanti Region stated in a post.

The Confederation of African Football has approved Baba Yara Sports Stadium to host Ghana’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers opener against Angola.

According to the dates announced by CAF, the game has been slated for Thursday, September 5, 2024.
