Finder Sports has reported that the Ghana Football Association is dreading the possibility of postponing some of the games in the ongoing Ghana League after the National Sports Authority wrote to them about plans to close down some stadia for repair works.

The affected stadia we are told are the Accra Sports stadium and the Tamale Sports stadium which serves as the home venue for at least four clubs including Hearts of Oak, Olympics, Legon Cities and RTU.

The planned repair works, according to the NSA will take place between December 18 to 26.

The NSA letter which was received sometime last week means the FA must either find an alternative venue or postpone some of the games scheduled for the affected stadia.

The decision by the NSA will further put a strain on organizers of the league who have already been forced to postpone the Hearts vs Kotoko clash due to the travel schedule of the Phobians who are playing in the CAF Confederation Cup.

It will be recalled that the NSA and the Sports Ministry closed down the Baba Yara Stadium for almost two years for repair works, forcing Asante Kotoko to play last season’s Ghana League away from home.

The current season is only 6 weeks old with Asante Kotoko top of the league table.
