Government considering hosting Women's Africa Cup of Nations in Tamale and Kumasi

The 2018 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations host, Ghana have indicated intentions to shift the host cities from Accra and Cape Coast to Kumasi and Tamale.

Government in view of preparations towards the biggest women’s football tournament on the continent which seems to be sturdy and slow have written to CAF to consider Tamale and Kumasi

From the inspection, CAF are reportedly not enthused by the level of preparedness of Ghana and hinted to the Local Organizing Committee (LOC). The inspection team has thus placed South Africa on standby to step in to host the tournament should Ghana fail to make it on time.

With just about four months to the Women’s Afcon, the Accra Stadium and other training facilities seem to be facing hurdles but Sports Minister Isaac Asiamah argues there are enough alternatives Ghana can use to host a successful tournament.

“The Accra Sports Stadium is not the only stadium in Ghana that can host the tournament, we have other stadia in Kumasi, Tamale, Cape Coast and Obuasi, which are equally good to host the games.

“Yes, we have to get value for money and each penny must benefit us, hence there should be no shoddy work,” he noted.

The Minister then revealed: “We have written to the Confederation of African Football (Caf) to send inspectors to Ghana to inspect the places I have mentioned and they have responded positively.”

“I have sent people to inspect the Kumasi and Tamale Sports Stadium and they look good, though we might need only a few things to put the place in good shape,” he added.

Meanwhile, contractors working on the Accra Sports Stadium and other training facilities in the city have stipulated
