FIFA delegation to inspect Cape Coast Stadium next week ahead of Ghana v Nigeria encounter

Published on: 11 March 2022

A delegation from FIFA will next week arrive in Ghana to inspect the Cape Coast Sports Stadium ahead of the clash between Ghana and Nigeria in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

The Black Stars and the Super Eagles are billed for a crucial two-legged encounter in the final week of March.

At the end of it all, one of Africa’s giants will miss out on playing at the 2022 FIFA World Cup this year.

Ahead of the first leg of the clash, a FIFA delegation according to Akoma FM will arrive for inspection of the Cape Coast Stadium next week.

The pitch of the stadium has been left in a bad state after the celebration of the country’s 65th Independence Day just last Sunday.

Although the National Sports Authority has already commenced works to ensure it is brought back to life, the poor state of the grass is a threat.

Should the FIFA delegation be disatisfied when they inspect the venue, the clash between Ghana and Nigeria scheduled to be staged on March 25 could be moved from Ghana to a neutral venue.
