The Director-General for the National Sports Authority (NSA), Professor Peter Twumasi, has disclosed that Ebusua Dwarfs will continue to use the Cape Coast Sports Stadium following the postponement of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in June.
CAF has postponed the World Cup qualifiers due to the coronavirus pandemic on the continent.
The Cape Coast Sports Stadium was set to undergo renovation works in order to meet CAF’s requirement to host Ghana’s World Cup qualifier against Ethiopia in June.
Ebusua Dwarfs were to be relocated from the venue to Elmina for works to be carried out at the facility.
Professor Peter Twumasi has confirmed that after the postponement Dwarfs can use the venue until an alternative date is provided for the renovation.
“We will allow the club to use the venues after the postponement from CAF. We will sit down with the clubs and have a discussion with them when we are ready to do the work”, he told Odiasempa Kwame Oware on Wamputu Sports on Happy 98.9FM.
The NSA boss also hinted that the Baba Yara Sports Stadium is nearing its completion stages and will be handed over to the clubs after the Sports Minister has inspected the facility.
“There has been a lot of work done at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, most of the works have been completed, the floodlight, scoreboard, the VVIP has received a major facelift and all the broken seats have been fixed”.
“The tartan tracks and everything have been completed. The Sports Minister Mustapha Ussif wants to visit all the venues before he gives the go ahead before we can commission the venue and hand it over”
The Baba Yara Sports Stadium has been closed down since February 2020.
