Dreams FC coach Karim Zito has welcomed CAF’s decision to withdraw its approval for the Baba Yara Sports Stadium for Ghana’s next home match in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
The stadium, which hosted Ghana’s opener of the AFCON qualifiers against Angola has been described as an "unsuitable playing field."
The decision by CAF means the Black Stars could play their next round of games against Sudan on a neutral ground.
"OK, so let me say this, I’m OK with that, with this decision by CAF," Zito said.
"Yes, because this will help us to do it, to do things better. Because it’s like, today we go to Baba Yara, we play there, next time, there is trouble.
"During the African Confederation, when I went to Rwanda, I looked at the facility and said we are far back. Far, far, far, far back. Even the dressing room of the coaches alone tells you something," he added.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Youth and Sports has 'instructed' the Ghana Football Association to seek CAF's approval for the Accra and University of Ghana Sports Stadiums to host the Black Stars’ next home match.
The return leg against Kwesi Appiah's Sudan, the Black Stars will be hosted at the Al-Merrikh Stadium. Ghana is set to play Sudan on October 11 and 15.
