Ghana's Accra Sports Stadium has been re-certified by CAF to host international football matches, enabling Ghana to stage qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. This decision follows the withdrawal of the stadium's previous certification, clearing the path for the Black Stars to play home fixtures there. The team is scheduled to host Gambia in Accra on September 27, just three days after their away qualifier against Ivory Coast.
Despite this positive development, concerns about the stadium's condition persist, with Berekum West MP Dickson Kyere-Duah describing it as a "death trap." The approval could also position Accra Sports Stadium as a regional venue for teams lacking certified facilities, with Niger and Somalia expressing interest in using it for their 2027 AFCON qualifiers.
