Minister for Youth and Sports, Mustapha Ussif, has revealed that he has directed the National Sports Authority (NSA) to liase with the Ghana Football Association and obtain a license for newly upgraded sports stadium.
These facilities are the Tarkwa TNA Sports Stadium and the University of Ghana Sports Stadium. The one in Tarkwa was recently opened while the Legon Stadium was used for the 2023 African Games.
Speaking at the 30th Ghana Football Ordinary Congress, Ussif said, “I have directed the NSA to liaise with the GFA to obtain a license from CAF for the various sports stadia [in Tarkwa and Legon], which have been upgraded.
“The future of Ghana football does not rely solely on infrastructure; the FA should also focus on transparency, fairness, and development.”
The Black Stars are scheduled to play Angola in just over week at the Baba Yara Stadium in their first 2025 AFCON qualifier.
But, latest reports coming in from Kumasi say CAF is demanding an immediate report on the current state of the playing surface, and the game could be played outside Ghana
