Baba Yara stadium will be ready for 2026/27 football season – NSA boss
The NSA boss toured the stadium together with the board chairman of NSA, Dr Fred Awaah and NSA estate boss Mr. Ebo.
Yaw Ampofo Ankrah, Director General of the National Sports Authority (NSA), announced that the Baba Yara Stadium will be ready for the start of the 2026/27 Ghana football season. He and the NSA board chairman visited the stadium, commending the Ashanti Regional Directorate for their efforts in restoring it. The Director General inspected the pitch, scoreboard, and floodlights, expressing confidence in the facility's readiness for the football season.
The NSA faced criticism for using traditional methods to maintain the pitch, but the Director General defended their actions, stating they will soon acquire modern equipment. With Ghana's 2027 AFCON qualifiers approaching, hosting home games at Baba Yara Stadium remains to be decided by the sports ministry and GFA. The stadium still requires repairs for over three thousand seats destroyed by students during school sports competitions in January, which the Ghana Education Service has agreed to fund.
