NSA announces stadium closure

Four clubs – Accra Hearts of Oak, Accra Great Olympics, Accra Lions and Dreams FC have less than a fortnight to sort out grounds issues follow­ing a directive from the managers of the Accra Sports Stadium, the National Sports Authority (NSA), to the clubs to relocate.

According to the NSA by a letter signed by its Director General, Prof. Peter Twu­masi, the affected would have to relocate by the end of the month because the facili­ty would not be available for the month of December.

“The National Sports Authority (NSA) wishes to inform you about the unavail­ability of the Accra Sports Stadium in December for sporting purposes.”

“By this letter, all the clubs that use the Accra Sports Stadium are entreated to use their alternative venue to honour their league matches in December,” the letter stated.

This is a repeat of last year’s arrange­ment when the stadium was closed down to accommodate events related to the Christmas festivities.

That sent Hearts to the Cape Coast Sports Stadium, Olympics to the Sogakope Park which was not spared by the Ako­sombo Dam spillage devastation.

Dreams FC, which plays their Premier League games at the Dawu Theatre of Dreams, would also have to look for a ven­ue for the CAF Confederation Cup group stage matches.
