Cape Coast Stadium

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has approved the Accra and Cape Coast stadia for the 2022 FIFA World Cup  Qualifiers.

According to a statement from CAF, the decision was based on the assessment of an updated report submitted by the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

The two stadia will be further evaluated on matchdays through the CAF Match Command Center (MCC). In the event that organizational and stadium technical infractions are noted by the designated CAF officials during matches, financial sanctions may be imposed on the GFA as per the established CAF grid for lack of technical facilities in the stadium.

The Senior National team is scheduled to kick off their journey to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 qualifiers against Ethiopia in September 2021 at one of the two approved venues.

Ghana has been paired against Ethiopia, South Africa and Zimbabwe in Group G.
