President of the Confederation of African Football, Patrice Motsepe, has hit hard at Ghana after the Baba Yara stadium ban.
CAF, last week, withdrew approval for the Baba Yara Stadium for the October AFCON Qualifiers, leaving Ghana without a single stadium fit to host a CAF category C game.
The continent’s governing body cited, uneven surfaces, poor drainage, and inadequate grass cover as some reasons for the ban.
Speaking at a press briefing in Nairobi, Kenya, Motsepe described the situation as frustrating.
“Nothing frustrates me more than a national team or club side having to play home matches outside.
“You can’t grow football if the national teams or club sides aren’t playing in front of their home fans.
“Our conversations in every country is to make sure there is at least one stadium capable of hosting a CAF category C game,” he said.
Ghana will face Sudan in a crucial AFCON qualifying double header in October, with Togo or Côte d’Ivoire the likely venue for Ghana’s home leg in the fixture.
