Former Black Stars captain, Stephen Appiah has described the potential of Ghana hosting it's next home match in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers abroad as "national embarrassment" following the ban on the Baba Sports Stadium.
The Baba Yara Sports Stadium, which hosted Ghana's last game against Angola, has had its approval revoked by CAF due to an "unsuitable playing field."
This decision leaves Ghana with limited options, and potentially hosting their next game against Sudan in October in Togo, Nigeria, or Ivory Coast.
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.
