Ghana’s Local Organizing Committee(LOC) for the 2018 Africa Women’s Nations Cup have written to the Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) to have a change of venue for the tournament.
A letter has been written to the continent’s football governing body to consider accepting plans to have the venues change from the Accra and Cape Coast to Kumasi and Tamale Stadia
The Accra and Cape Coast stadia were selected to be the host venues for the competition which begins in November.
However reports say CAF’s inspection team were not satisfied with the progress of work currently ongoing at the Accra Sports Stadium.
This has forced government to request for a change of venue placing the Kumasi and Tamale Stadia on standby as alternatives.
The Obuasi Len Clay Stadium has also been mentioned as another alternative should the distance between Kumasi and Tamale become an issue.
According to the acting Liaison team that South Africa has been placed on standby should Ghana be stripped off the hosting rights.
Ghana was handed the opportunity to host Africa’s Women’s flagship football competition for the first time two years ago.
