The Black Stars of Ghana AFCON 2021 qualifying match against Sudan is set to be played behind closed doors.

This comes after the Confédération African of Football (CAF) set guidelines to strengthen the security system ahead of the resumption of the AFCON2021 qualifiers.

The last time the AFCON qualifiers were played was in November 2019 because of the Coronavirus pandemic which wreaked havoc across the world earlier this year.

As the games (matchday 3 & 4) are set to continue from November 9 through to November 17, the African football governing body has set out rules to guide the competition.

In a statement, CAF said that the qualifiers will be played without the fans but also gave an exception to the rule.

Also, at the CAF Emergency Committee held on November 6, they came to the conclusion that the number of substitution has been increased to five as it is been done in the rest of the world. 

Ghana will on Thursday, November 12, 2020 take on the North Africans in the first of a doubleheader tie at the Cape Coast stadium, before travelling to Khartoum, five days later for the reverse fixture.
