8 conditions Ghana must fulfil before hosting Nigeria game at Baba Yara

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has set eight conditions Ghana must meet before being granted final authorization to host the first leg of their 2022 World Cup play-off against Nigeria at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.

Although FIFA rules allow match venues to be changed 90 days before the match, the Ghana Football Association was able to convince CAF to move their venue from the Cape Coast Stadium to the Baba Yara Stadium.
