GFA petitions CAF to intervene over tickets for 500 supporters in Bouake
The supporters, who journeyed from Ghana to support the Black Stars, have been unable to secure tickets to access the Stade de la Paix, after the Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) indicated that tickets for the encounter are sold out.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has requested the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to intervene and provide additional tickets for approximately five hundred (500) Ghanaian supporters who have traveled to Bouake for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier match against Cote d'Ivoire. The supporters, who arrived from Ghana to show their support for the Black Stars, have been unable to obtain tickets to attend the match at the Stade de la Paix, as the Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) has stated that all tickets for the game are sold out.
The GFA initially received its allocated tickets during the Match Coordination Meeting (MCM) held on Wednesday, but these allocations are not enough to cover the large number of Ghanaian fans currently present in the Ivorian city. In a letter addressed to CAF, the GFA has requested an extra block of around five hundred (500) tickets to accommodate the stranded supporters.
The Association has also brought this matter to the attention of the Match Commissioner, who has assured the GFA of his assistance. The GFA remains committed to ensuring that the Ghanaian supporters who made the journey to Bouake have the opportunity to cheer on the Black Stars during the crucial Group C opener against Cote d'Ivoire.
