2023 AFCON qualifiers: CAF approves Baba Yara Sports Stadium and Cape Coast Stadium for Ghana's game vs Central African Republic

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has given its approval for the Baba Yara Sports Stadium and the Cape Coast Stadium to host Ghana's crucial matchday five fixture in the 2023 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against the Central African Republic.

Both stadiums have successfully met the rigorous FIFA/CAF standards, ensuring that they meet the necessary requirements to serve as suitable venues for the qualifying matches.

The upcoming match for the Black Stars will be against Madagascar on June 18, which will be followed by a significant home game against the Central African Republic on September 4.

In the previous qualifiers, Ghana secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory at the Baba Yara Stadium and then played to a 1-1 draw against Angola in Luanda. These results have positioned Ghana at the top of Group E in the 2023 AFCON qualifiers.

With a total of eight points from four matches, Ghana's qualification to the upcoming AFCON tournament hinges on winning either of their remaining two games against Madagascar or the Central African Republic. A victory in either match will guarantee their place in the prestigious tournament.
