The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has finished evaluating stadiums for the upcoming Premier League season. Only four venues were deemed suitable and received full approval.
Following inspections carried out in August 2024, the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex, Nsenkyire Sports Arena, Dun's Park, and WAFA Park were the only stadiums that met all necessary infrastructure standards.
The new TNA Stadium, a 13,000-capacity facility that cost $16 million, is still waiting for full approval despite its recent opening. The reason for this is the absence of an inner perimeter, which is a requirement for full accreditation.
This issue is not unique to the TNA Stadium, as the country's two largest stadiums, Baba Yara Stadium and Accra Sports Stadium, are also awaiting full accreditation because they are on a conditional approval list.
Venues hosting the Ghana Premier League will undergo a re-inspection on August 30th, 2024. This inspection aims to address any existing issues and potentially grant full approval for the upcoming season.
The results of this re-inspection are crucial, as the league is scheduled to begin on September 6th, 2024.
