The Ghana Football Association (GFA) have made contact with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) over the possibility of moving the first-leg encounter of the game between Ghana and Nigeria to the Baba Yara Stadium, Joy Sports understands.
The Black Stars and the Super Eagles go head-to-head for a place at this year’s FIFA World Cup in Qatar, with the first encounter of the playoff scheduled to take place at the Cape Coast Stadium.
However, the state of the pitch, following the celebration of Ghana’s 65th independence anniversary on March 6, has raised doubts about the suitability of the game being played in Cape Coast.
Last week, the National Sports Authority revealed they had begun speedy work on the pitch to make it available in time for the March 25 first leg, but there are fears the venue may still not be fit for purpose.
Tonight on JoyNews' PM Express, host, Evans Mensah, and his panel will explore Ghana's options and the way forward.
