Black Stars Gear Up for Crucial AFCON Qualifier Against Sudan at Cape Coast Stadium

Ghanasoccernet is reporting that the Black Stars of Ghana are set to host Sudan in a highly anticipated match at the Cape Coast Stadium on October 11, 2024, marking a crucial moment in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

This decision comes after the Baba Yara Stadium was deemed unsuitable for Category C matches due to its deteriorating playing surface, leading to the suspension of its hosting license.

In preparation for the upcoming match, officials from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) conducted a thorough inspection of both the Accra and Cape Coast Stadiums over the weekend.

This inspection was organized by the Ministry of Sports to ensure that Ghana maintains its capability to host international matches without any embarrassment.

The confirmation of Cape Coast Stadium as the venue for this qualifier highlights the government’s commitment to providing a suitable playing environment for the Black Stars.

Ghana’s clash with Sudan is critical, as it plays a significant role in their journey towards qualification for the 2025 AFCON tournament.

Following the home match, the Black Stars will travel to Libya for the return fixture at the Martyrs of February Stadium on October 14, 2024. This two-match series is vital for Ghana as they aim to secure points and strengthen their position in the qualifiers.

The decision to move the match to Cape Coast is welcomed by fans and stakeholders who understand the importance of having a quality pitch for such significant encounters.
