The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced that the venue for the Olympic Games qualifier between Ghana and Zambia has been changed from Kumasi to Accra.
Originally scheduled to take place at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi, the match will now be held at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The change in venue was necessitated by the scheduling of three high-profile games at the Baba Yara Stadium within a three-day period.
Specifically, Medeama SC and Dreams FC will be involved in two CAF inter-club games at the Baba Yara Stadium on the weekend of February 23–25, 2024.
On Friday, February 23, Medeama SC will host Al Ahly in the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium. Then, on Sunday, February 25, Dreams FC will host Club Africain at the same venue.
To accommodate these matches, the GFA decided to move the Olympic Games qualifier between Ghana and Zambia to the Accra Sports Stadium.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 5 pm on February 23, 2024. This decision ensures that all scheduled games can proceed smoothly without overlapping at the same venue.
