2022 World Cup playoffs: Fifa delegation to inspect Cape Coast Stadium next week ahead of Nigeria tie

The Cape Coast Sports Stadium will be inspected by a FIFA delegation next week ahead of the clash between Ghana and Nigeria in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

The Black Stars and the Super Eagles are billed for a crucial two-legged encounter in the final week of March.

At the end of it all, one of Africa’s giants will miss out on playing at the 2022 FIFA World Cup this year.

And according to a report filed by Kumasi based Akoma FM ahead of the first leg of the clash, a FIFA delegation will arrive for inspection of the Cape Coast Stadium next week.

The pitch of the stadium has been left in a bad state after the celebration of the country’s 65thIndependence Day just last Sunday.

Although the National Sports Authority has already commenced works to ensure it is brought back to life, the poor state of the grass is a threat.

Should the FIFA delegation be dissatisfied when they inspect the venue, the clash between Ghana and Nigeria scheduled to be staged on March 25 could be moved from Ghana to a neutral venue.
