The General Manager of Asante Kotoko Sporting Club, Nana Gyambibi Coker says the club is yet to find a venue to host their football matches after the Baba Yara Sports Stadium was temporary closed down for renovation works ahead of the 63 rd Independence Day celebration.

The National Sports Authority notified the public on Monday, February 17, 2020 that renovation works will resume after the Independence celebration and will “duly inform when the stadium can host both football and athletic activities again”.

Asante Kotoko and King Faisal have been hit by the news with the stadium serving as their venue in the ongoing Ghana Premier League competition.

According to Nana Gyambibi, the Kotoko management were given a notice in less than 24-hours, which gives them no ample time to decide their next venue.

“We were notified just yesterday. The call was impromptu and management is yet to decide where we’ll choose as our venue before the works are done,” he said on Angel FM Sports on Tuesday morning.

On whether Kotoko have a place in mind to choose as their home grounds, he refused to give a name and called on patience for management of the club to decide.

The Chief Executive Officer of King Faisal Football Club, Alhaji Karim Grunsah explained the less than 24-hour ultimatum as ‘a bad one’ and communicated that his football club have chosen Assin Fosu to host their games with the recent happening tomorrow against Legon City FC. Kotoko will play Aduana Stars on Wednesday at Dormaa.

The titan-tracks, scoreboard are reported to be part of the renovation process.
