Asante Kotoko in Limbo as GFA Declares Baba Yara Stadium Unfit for GPL Matches

Asante Kotoko have been dealt a major blow after the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Club Licensing Committee rejected the Baba Yara Stadium as a venue for Ghana Premier League (GPL) matches.

According to club sources who spoke to Ghanasoccernet.com, the stadium was deemed unfit due to the absence of a designated safe zone, a key requirement under the Enhanced Matchday Safety and Security Protocols 2025.

With limited time to rectify the issues, Kotoko may be forced to find an alternative venue, with the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex in Abrankese emerging as a possible option. The club has used the facility in the past, but relocating mid-season could be a significant setback for their title ambitions.

The Porcupine Warriors currently sit at the top of the league table and have been dominant at Baba Yara this season, securing 22 out of a possible 30 points while dropping only eight. Losing their home advantage at such a crucial stage could impact their push for the championship.

Kotoko now face a race against time to either address the safety concerns at Baba Yara or secure a new home ground before the league resumes on
