The Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi has been declared not fit to host any CAF or FIFA sanctioned games for the foreseeable future.
The venue was granted a one-match only license to host the 2022 World Cup play-off match between Ghana and Nigeria last month.
But following the draw for the 2023 AFCON qualifiers, the continent’s football governing body has communicated to the Ghana Football Association that they will not be allowed to host the games from then on.
It has now emerged that the CAF inspector who was sent to assess the facility before the Nigeria game, outlined as many as 19 structural and systematic problems with the stadium, nine of which were allowed to be fixed before the Ghana-Nigeria tie.
But it appears CAF is no longer going to compromise on standards, suspending the use of the stadium until every single item on the list is fixed.
