The Black Stars of Ghana could be forced to play their game their home game against the Central African Republic (CAR) in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in another country, Kumasi-based Kessben FM has reported.
According to the reports, the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, which has been the home grounds for the senior national team does not meet the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) standard for hosting a certain category of matches, including World Cup qualifiers.
The report adds that recent inspections by officials from CAF have led to the discovery of several challenges with the stadium, which makes it unfit to host the game.
It would be recalled that in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, CAF almost rejected the Baba Yara Stadium as the venue for Ghana’s playoff match against Nigeria.
It took last-minute preparations for FIFA and CAF to grant a conditional permit for the game to be held at the stadium.
The match against CAR is scheduled for June 10 after facing Mali in Bamako on June 3.
Ghana is fourth in Group I of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, with Comoros, Madagascar and Mali occupying the first, second and third positions, respectively.
