The National Sports Authority (NSA) has confirmed that certain sections of the Accra Sports Stadium will be restricted for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier between Ghana and Chad on Friday.
NSA Director General Yaw Ampofo Ankrah shared that engineers have recommended closing off eight rows of the upper popular stand due to ongoing maintenance work at the stadium.
“Engineers have advised that eight rows of the upper popular stand be cordoned off, but we will still have 80% of the stadium’s capacity for the match,” Ampofo Ankrah stated in a recent interview said this.
The Accra Sports Stadium has been under renovation for several months, which led to its closure for various activities.
However, with the Black Stars preparing to play their first home game of the year, the NSA has assured fans that the venue will be ready to host this important fixture.
Ghana, currently tied with Comoros at the top of Group I with nine points, will be aiming for a win against Chad to strengthen their chances of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
