Sports Minister Kofi Adams to meet GFA and decide venue for Black Stars World Cup game in March, Cape Coast Stadium tipped
Ghana’s Sports Minister, Hon. Kofi Adams, is scheduled to meet with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) in the coming days to decide on the venue for the Black Stars’ crucial World Cup qualifier on 17th March 2025 vs CHAD.
With the team’s qualification campaign heating up, this meeting will be vital in determining where the much-anticipated fixture will be played. The outcome of this discussion will play a crucial role in shaping the Black Stars’ preparations as they seek to secure a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The match, set to take place in March, is seen as a defining moment in the Black Stars’ qualification campaign. As Ghana’s national football team aims for a place in the global tournament, the venue for this game holds significant importance in ensuring the team is set up for success, both in terms of logistics and support from the fans.
Minister Kofi Adams will work closely with the GFA to assess several factors before making a final decision on the venue. The primary consideration will be the condition of the stadiums, as the Sports Ministry and the GFA will want to ensure the Black Stars play in an environment conducive to optimal performance. This includes assessing the state of the pitch, the stadium’s facilities, and the overall infrastructure.
The logistical requirements of both the team and the spectators will also be factored in. Ease of transport to the venue, accommodation for players and officials, as well as the comfort of the fans, are all crucial components that will influence the venue selection.
Over the years, iconic stadiums such as the Baba Yara Stadium and the Accra Sports Stadium have hosted crucial World Cup qualifiers for the Black Stars. Both venues have a rich history of providing electric atmospheres for important fixtures, and they remain strong contenders. However, there have also been discussions about potentially considering other stadiums like the Cape Coast Stadium due to some shortfalls at the Baba Yara Stadium currently.
