Ghana-Angola friendly moved to another stadium

Ghana's plans of helping Angola inaugurate its news national stadium next week has been scuppered by delays in completion of the project.

  The Black Stars were due to play the Palancas Negras in Luanda on Wednesday at the new stadium but it is not yet ready.

The match will now be played at the city's Cidadela Stadium, which used to be the country's main stadium.

Angola was due to open the new stadium in Luanda with a friendly against World Cup-bound Ghana but the delays have raised concerns over the readiness of the country to host the Nations Cup.

The Palancas Negras will also meet Congo in Luanda on Saturday in a warm-up match ahead of their hosting of the Nations Cup from January 10-31 next year.

Angola has just two months to complete the stadium in its capital plus new venues being built for the tournament in Benguela, Cabinda and Lubango.
