The Confederation of African Football (CAF) and FIFA have approved Ghana’s request to admit football fans for Saturday’s Group G FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 qualifier against Zimbabwe.

CAF has approved 4,000 spectators for the match – an improvement over the 2,250 spectators which was approved for last month’s opener against Ethiopia.

Per this directive, the Safety and Security Officer of the GFA, Julius Ben Emunah shall together with all the relevant stakeholders i.e., Ministry of Youth and Sports, National Sports Authority, the Security Agencies and the COVID-19 Officer, Dr. Christine Baah ensure strict adherence of the CAF/FIFA COVID-19 protocols.

The GFA advise Ghanaians to obey all the Protocols strictly in order to have a successful match and also avoid any sanctions from CAF and FIFA.

The Black Stars who began the World Cup qualifying campaign with a 1-0 win over Ethiopia on match day one, sit second in Group G with three points after two round of matches.

The Group G encounter between Ghana and Zimbabwe will kick off at 1600GMT on Saturday at the Cape Coast stadium.
