Baba Yara stadium now meets required standards to host major events again – NSA

Seth Panwum, Chairman of the National Sports Authority (NSA) Board, has confirmed that the Baba Yara Stadium is now fully prepared to host football matches once more.

The stadium had been temporarily closed after the Confederation of African Football (CAF) revoked its license due to the poor condition of its pitch.

Mr Panwum assured in an interview with Channel One TV that the playing surface has since been refurbished and is now up to international standards.

“Baba Yara is equally undergoing, let me say, re-turfing, and it has come of age. The grass is up to standard now,” he said.

“With constant work after each game, we will go to Baba Yara as well to review the work so far, then we can attest whether it is ready, and then we can allow Kumasi Asante Kotoko to return to the pitch,” he added.
