Sekondi Sports Stadium to Host Lesotho WQC

The Sekondi Sports Stadium in Sekondi will host Ghana’s final 2010 World Cup qualifying game against Lesotho on October 12th.

Ghana plays against Lesotho in the final Group 5 game in the joint qualifiers for the 2010 African Cup of Nations and World Cup.

The Ghana Football Association has communicated its decision to host the game in Sekondi to Fifa, organisers of the World Cup qualifiers.

This would be Ghana's debut game at the stadium since it was constructed for the hosting of the 2008 African Nations Cup.

Sekondi Sports Stadium with a capacity of 20,000 seats would be the third match venue for Ghana during the qualifying campaign.

Ghana opened the qualifying campaign at the Baba Yara Stadium before playing the second home game at the Ohene Djan Stadium in the capital, Accra as part of a system to rotate the national team games.

The Black Stars beat Lesotho by 3-2 in the first leg in Bloemfontein but will need a better result to make progress into the next stage safe after defeat to Libya in the last game.
