Baba Yara Stadium currently has power again after the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) disconnected it due to an unpaid debt of GH¢140,000.
Sporty FM reports that the reconnection comes after talks between ECG officials and the Minister of Youth and Sports, which resulted in a revised payment schedule.
According to earlier reports, after repeated reminders, ECG had turned off the stadium's energy supply since the outstanding balance was unpaid.
The management of Ghana's biggest stadium, which has already been subject to FIFA and Confederation of African Football (CAF) regulations, was the subject of scrutiny.
These organizations have not approved Baba Yara Stadium to hold international games.
After initially remaining mute about the disconnection, the National Sports Authority (NSA) and the Ministry of Youth and Sports stepped in to address the issue.
Despite the restoration of power, concerns regarding the financial difficulties impacting stadium maintenance still exist.
In November 2024, the NSA declared that the venue's renovations were full. Issues with upkeep and adherence to CAF regulations, however, still prevent its full use for high-profile games.
