The Accra Sports Stadium will remain closed until Ghana's 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against The Gambia, announced National Sports Authority (NSA) Director General, Yaw Ampofo Ankrah. Clubs planning to utilize the stadium as their home ground for the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League season will need to seek alternative venues.
Hearts of Oak, among other teams, could be impacted as the new league season commences this weekend. According to Ankrah, the temporary closure is necessary to complete renovation and maintenance while adhering to Confederation of African Football (CAF) standards. The stadium is projected to stay out of service until Ghana's Group C AFCON qualifier on September 27, 2026.
Ghana's Black Stars will face Ivory Coast in a pre-qualifier match on September 24 at the Stade de la Paix in Bouaké, followed by their return to Accra for the first home match against The Gambia. Ghana aims to secure a spot in the AFCON, which they missed in Morocco, making qualification for the 2027 tournament a critical goal.
