Ghana-Sudan clash rescheduled

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced changes to the dates of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers between Ghana and Sudan.

The first leg was originally scheduled to take place in Accra on Friday, October 11 with the second leg slated for Monday, October 14.

However, the first leg will now be played on Thursday, October 10 at the Accra Sports Stadium with the second leg to be played on Tuesday, October 15 at the Martyrs of February Stadium in Benghazi, Libya.

 

There was controversy regarding the venue of the first leg as a result of the closeness of its date.

The Baba Yara Sports Stadium, which has hosted most of the Black Stars’ games in the last decades, was stripped of its approval by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) due to its pitch.

The nation’s football-governing body was, therefore, requested to seek an alternative venue for the clash.

But the Ministry of Youth and Sports intervened, putting quick finishes to the Accra Sports Stadium, which was approved a few days ago for the game.
