The National Sports Authority (NSA) on Monday issued a statement that the Baba Yara Sports Stadium which also serves as King Faisal's home venue has been closed down for renovation works.

According to the NSA, the closure is to enable the NSA and Ministry of Youth and Sports to have ample and uninterrupted time to fix critical places of the stadium before the celebration of Ghana's 63rd Independence Anniversary Celebration.

It said the public is therefore advised to make alternative arrangements for their programmes adding that, they would be duly notified when the stadium can host football and athletics again.

In view of this, the GFA has been swift to announce new details about the match.

“The Ghana Football Association Competition Department wishes to inform you that due to the closure of the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, the above-mentioned fixture would be played at the Len Clay Stadium on Thursday 20th February 2020 at 3 pm”.
