The National Sports Authority (NSA) has confirmed that the match between Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko will be played in front of a full capacity at the Accra Sports Stadium.

According to the press statement by the NSA, the decision to have a full house for the Super Clash was reached after consultation with the Ghana Health Service/COVID-19 Taskforce with all considerations noted.

The NSA had an earlier request to scrap the 25% limit on stadium attendance rejected before the latest U-turn.

In January 2021, government granted permission for football stadia across the country to admit up to 25% capacity, a revision from the ‘no fans’ at stadium directive that came into effect at the height of the coronavirus pandemic.
