| Lesotho is heading to Kumasi |
The match was
originally scheduled to be played in the capital Accra on Saturday June 2. But
Ghana’s hosting of this year’s regional Ecowas Games has forced authorities to
reschedule the tie to the country’s second biggest city, on a different date.
Kumasi has
previously played host to World Cup qualifiers and it was seen as the natural
replacement for Accra.
“We realised the
Ecowas games will start on the Saturday in Accra and because we wanted full
support for the Black Stars we decided to shift it to Friday,” the president of
the Ghana FA, Kwesi Nyantakyi, said.
“The match is
being played in Kumasi and we want to start it in grand style and we all know
Kumasi has been a Black Stars stronghold in terms of support so that is the
rationale behind the move to Kumasi,” he added.
The Baba Yara Sports Stadium is
also seen as the perfect beginning for new Black Stars coach Kwesi Appiah who
played for Kumasi-based giants Asante Kotoko.
The match
against Likuena will be the ex-Black Stars captain’s first official game in
charge.
