Bibiani Gold Stars wants to bring their big matches home to Kumasi. The team just made history after winning their first-ever Ghana Premier League title. Kwesi Adu runs the club, and he has major plans for their upcoming CAF Champions League games. The team will represent Ghana in Africa's top football competition. Adu believes Baba Yara Sports Stadium can host these important matches.
Right away, there is one problem facing the Gold Stars. Only the Accra Sports Stadium has official approval from CAF for continental competitions. Adu says just a few small improvements will make Baba Yara Stadium ready for action. He recently visited the venue with Nana Apinkra to assess what work needs to be done. The pair met with officials from the Ghana Football Association to discuss the upgrade plans.
Adu feels very confident about getting the stadium ready on time. He expects full support from the National Sports Authority under Yaw Ampofo Ankrah. Asante Kotoko will also contribute to the project, as they use the same venue. The three groups plan to collaborate to complete all necessary improvements. Gold Stars really wants to play their preliminary round matches in Kumasi.
The club has backup plans ready just in case. CAF has not given final approval for Baba Yara Stadium to host games. If the venue fails to meet the requirements before the group stage matches begin, Gold Stars will relocate to the Accra Sports Stadium. For the moment, Adu focuses on completing upgrade work in Kumasi.
