Ghana champions, Medeama will have to stick to the Cape Coast Stadium for the CAF Champions League group stages following delay in the completion of the TNA stadium.
The Yellow and Mauves hopes of using the TNA stadium for the group stage campaign have been dashed as the venue will not be ready before their campaign starts.
The TNA stadium was initially expected to be ready in early November but the narrative has changed and thus, Medeama will have to use the Cape Coast stadium.
According to Abdul Razak, the Executive Secretary of Goldfields Foundation, sponsors of the project, says the stadium will be completed in March, dealing a huge blow to Medeama.
"We have had conversations with key actors in recent weeks, and nothing indicates that the stadium being built by Goldfields Foundation will be completed as soon as expected. The contractor will hand over the stadium to Goldfields Foundation in March next year, followed by Goldfields handing over to the club," he told Space FM in Tarkwa.
Medeama used the Cape Coast stadium for the preliminary rounds of the Champions League, beating Remo Stars and Horoya AC to seal group stage spot.
The group stage is scheduled to start in late November with Medeama facing African champions Al Ahly, Algerian champions CR Belouizdad, and Yanga FC, the reigning champions of Tanzania. Medeama's first match is against Al Ahly in Cairo on November 24.
