Ghana switch venue for Congo Nations Cup qualifier
Posted On Wednesday, 11th May 2011
John Mensah will captain the Black Stars for the game in Kumasi
Ghana’s have moved next month Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Congo to the city of Kumasi and brought the game forward by a day.
The game was originally scheduled for the capital city of Accra on 4 June.
But it will be played on Saturday 3 June in Kumasi to allow the team enough time to travel to South Korea for a friendly on 7 June.
It is suspected that floodlight and scoreboard problems at the Accra Sports Stadium could have prompted the switch.
Ghana FA vice president Fred Pappoe revealed the switch of venue without giving the reasons for the decision.
Ghana leads qualifying group I on goal difference from Sudan on seven points after the first three games.

The dates are confusing-June 4 is Saturday and June 3 is Friday and so which dates are you people talking about?
I read it somewhere that is will be friday 3 june so i dont kno why it is saying saturday 3 june but 3rd june is friday…
ghana is not in group one . You have been repeating this mistake for so long. check group 9 and see. Group 1 is made up of Mali, liberia zimbabwe and cape verde. please soccernet, spare us the errors
hi my friend ann. soccernet is right by saying Ghanais in Group I. u are mistaken rather they mean Group I n not by Group 1… u should know ur alphabets well oooo my dear.
Why kumasi instead of accra i think the GFA is not being fair to the folks of accra, infact this is painful and it is not the first time pls.
read carefully n u’ll find the reason for the switch…moreover, Kumasi fans are more supportive than the impatient Accra fans
Victory we want
the black stars always struggle in kumasi.if not a draw then its a very narrow win.
