The Ghana Black Stars are slated to tackle Chad in match-day 5 fixture of the 2026 World Cup qualifier next month.
Ahead of this crucial game, the Acting Director of the National Sports Authority (NSA), Seth Panwum, has confirmed that the Accra Sports Stadium is in immaculate shape.
Panwun believes the stadium’s spotless condition will boost Ghana's quest for a win on home turf and bring them closer to World Cup qualification.
“The Accra Sports Stadium is really very solid and in a very good shape,” he told Citi Sports.
“You know, since the last incident that led to the closure of the Baba Yara sports stadium, and we put in every effort to refurbish the Accra sports stadium, it has still been maintained, it has still been maintained to its standard till date.”
Panwum further affirmed that the Accra Sports Stadium has been authorized by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) as the arena for the Black Stars’ upcoming qualifier against Chad, slated for March 17.
“As far as we know, the GFA has submitted the stadium, and from our communication with them, the game against Chad will be played here,” he said.
After the match in Accra, the Black Stars will jet out to square off against Madagascar in their Matchday 6 encounter.
