The National Sports Authority has disclosed that the Cape Coast stadium which has hosted the Black Stars in recent times will be unavailable for use to the Ghana Football Association for Ghana’s upcoming World Cup Qualifiers play-off against Nigeria.
The decision is as a result of the decision by State Protocol to hold this year’s Independence day celebration at the said venue.
In a letter signed by the Director-General of the National Sports Authority, Prof. Peter Twumasi, he said the Cape Coast stadium will be closed down to sporting activities to enable exterior and beautification works to be done for the independence day celebrations.
“I respectfully write to you to inform you of the decision by the State Protocol at the Jubilee House to hold this year’s Independence Anniversary Celebration at the Cape Coast Stadium on 6th March 2022”
