The Togolese Football Federation has declined Ghana opportunity to play their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Sudan at the Stade de Kégué in Togo.
The Ghana’s Football Association is currently searching for an alternative venue for their third qualifier match after the Confederation of African Football imposed a ban on the Baba Yara Stadium due to its poor playing surface and other part of the stadium that needs to be fixed.
Ghana had hoped to secure the Stade de Kégué for the first leg match, but reports indicate that, the Togolese FA has rejected their request.
This leaves Ivory Coast as Ghana’s only remaining option to host the game against Sudan in the matchday three of the AFCON 2025.
Kwesi Appiah and his side will host the Black Stars at the Al-Merrikh Stadium in the second leg in the matchday four games.
Both the Accra Sports Stadium, Kumasi Baba Yara Stadium and the Cape Coast Sports Stadium were also deemed unsuitable for international matches, prompting necessary upgrades and closures.
The Black Stars now aim for victory in the two matches against Sudan, following a 1-0 loss to Angola at the Baba Yara Stadium and a 1-1 draw against Niger.
Ghana are currently third in Group F with just one point after two games.
