Kofi Adams, the Minister for Sports and Recreation has revealed that the Cape Coast Sports Stadium will be reserved for only Black Stars games.
According to the Minister, the facility in Cape Coast which currently does not meet the standards to host a CAF Category C games will be renovated purposely to host international games for the Black Stars.
The Member of Parliament for the Buem Constituency revealed that clubs will be prevented from playing Ghana Premier League and other local competitions at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium after the renovation works are completed.
“If you look at the key stadium facilities we have, Cape Coast is the one that we will not spend so much to refurbish quickly, and not allow any club to play there. We will just keep it as a national stadium for Black Stars only, for the meantime,” he stated.
The Member of Parliament for Buem added that the Baba Yara and Accra Stadiums will be shut down for rehabilitation works soon.
“So, we would have prepared it for the September and October window when we play the next qualifiers. After that, we can close Accra and Kumasi as well and make sure they are refurbished for competitions,” he added.
The Black Stars will face Chad on March 21, 2025, at the Accra Sports Stadium before facing Madagascar in an away fixture on March 24, 2025.
