Chairman of the Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA), John Ansah, has assured that the University of Ghana Sports Stadium is in excellent condition to host this year’s GHALCA Top 4 tournament.
The competition was initially scheduled for the Baba Yara Stadium, but ongoing renovation works ruled out the Kumasi venue. The Accra Sports Stadium was later selected as an alternative.
However, on Monday, August 19, organisers were compelled to make another change after the National Sports Authority (NSA) reserved the Accra facility for the Black Stars’ 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in September.
Speaking to Woezor TV, Mr. Ansah expressed confidence in the readiness of the University of Ghana facility.
“I don’t think there is a challenge using the University of Ghana Sports Stadium,” he said.
“They started working on it a long time ago, but it is just that we chose the Accra Sports Stadium because we had approval, so we did not go back to the University of Ghana. When we had the challenge with the Accra Sports Stadium, then we had to run around to the University of Ghana Stadium, and it is in good shape, and we are ready to play now,” he added.
The 2025 Top 4 tournament kicks off today, Wednesday, August 20, with Asante Kotoko taking on Bibiani GoldStars in the opening fixture.
Later in the evening, Hearts of Oak will square off against Heart of Lions.
Kick-off times are scheduled for 15:00 GMT and 18:00 GMT, respectively.
