Dreams FC Head Coach Karim Zito has endorsed CAF’s decision to withdraw approval for the Baba Yara Sports Stadium for Ghana’s next home match in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The stadium, which hosted Ghana’s recent game against Angola, was banned due to an "unsuitable playing field."
As a result, Ghana may have to host their October match against Sudan in Togo, Nigeria, or Ivory Coast.
"I am okay with the decision by CAF because this will help us do things better," Zito said.
"Today, we play at Baba Yara [stadium] the next time, trouble. During the African Confederation, I went to Rwanda and looked at their field, and said 'Ghana, we are far far back'.
"If this [decision] will make sure [there are changes], I will be very happy."
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Youth and Sports has 'instructed' the Ghana Football Association to seek CAF's approval for the Accra and University of Ghana Sports Stadiums to host the Black Stars’ next home match.
