The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has approved Ghana’s request to admit fans for Sunday’s 2022 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations qualifier between Ghana and Nigeria in Accra.

Four Thousand (4,000) spectators will be granted entry into the Accra Sports stadium for the crucial encounter.

The Ghana Football Association wishes to inform stakeholders that it will team up with all relevant stakeholders to ensure that the match is played under the approved CAF/FIFA COVID-19 protocols.

The GFA is therefore advising Ghanaians to obey all the Protocols strictly to first and foremost have a successful match and also to avoid any sanctions from CAF.

The Super Falcons of Nigeria have the upper hand going into the second leg tie in Accra thanks a Uchenna Kanu’s brace against Ghana at Mobolaji Johnson Stadium, Onikan.

The Black Queens will hope to overturn the two-goal deficit in the return leg at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, October 24.

The winner of the high-profile doubleheader after the Accra second leg showdown will set up a second-round date with either Niger or Cote d’Ivoire.
