Furthermore, CAF has requested that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the stadium management team prioritize necessary enhancements to the pitch and other critical areas of the stadium leading up to the match day. This is to ensure an optimal experience for both teams and the attending fans. CAF has also emphasized that they will continue to closely monitor the readiness of the stadium for this match, as well as for future CAF-sanctioned events.
This approval is a testament to the efforts put forth by all involved parties in ensuring that the Accra Sports Stadium meets the required standards. It also reflects positively on Ghana’s commitment to hosting top-tier international football events.
