Just four stadiums have received complete approval from the Ghana Football Association’s (GFA) Club Licensing Department following its evaluation of potential locations for the next Ghana Premier League season.
The Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex, Nsenkyire Sports Arena, Dun’s Park, and WAFA Park were the only stadiums that met all infrastructure standards during inspections between August 8 and August 21, 2024.
The absence of an inner border prevented the newly opened $16 million TNA Stadium from receiving full permission, even with its 13,000 capacity and substantial expenditure.
This omission has prevented it from gaining complete accreditation. Additionally, the country’s two largest stadiums, Baba Yara Stadium and Accra Sports Stadium, are also on the conditional approval list.
August 30, 2024, is set aside for a re-inspection of these locations with the goal of addressing any issues and maybe obtaining complete approval.
The results of this follow-up examination will be very important because the Ghana Premier League is scheduled to start on September 6, 2024.
