For example, we can use the World Cup money to design a stadium purposely for football matters and the federation (GFA) will handle that\u201dProf Twumasi told Graphic Sports<\/p>\n<p>On the clubs, he said, \u201cNot only the GFA, but all the clubs playing in the Premiership must own stadiums or venues good enough to host a match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I have my way, every club that plays in the Premier League must demonstrate that they have their own stadium. If they don\u2019t have the money they can team up with the banks for loans to be deducted from their gate proceeds for a number of years\u201d Prof Twumasi added.<\/p>\n<p>With the Cape Coast Stadium rejected, Medeama will now play their CAF Champions League games at the Baba Yara Stadium, which is the only CAF approved stadium in the country.<\/p>\n<p>The Black Stars will also host Madagacar at the same venue in their 2026 World Cup qualifiers on Friday, November 17.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>            <!--  [embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=videoseries[\/embed]<!--\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>--><\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"GDsfuBei0y8\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2023 School Placement: Private Schools Optimistic of fair share from GES, CSSPS - Adom TV News.\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GDsfuBei0y8?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peter Twumasi The Director General of the National Sports Authority (NSA), Professor Peter Twumasi, has called on the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and Ghana Premier League clubs to build and manage their own stadia.
