Kofi Adams, the Minister of Sports and Recreation, warned that Ghana could lose the opportunity to host next year's U-20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) if urgent improvements are not made to the country's sporting facilities. He stated, "Ghana has gotten the bid to host the U-20 African Championship next year, but we cannot host these events if we don't upgrade some of our facilities." Ghana secured the hosting rights for the youth continental tournament as part of activities marking the country's 70th Independence Anniversary celebrations.
Concerns have been raised over the condition of some stadia earmarked for the competition.
