And the portion of the VIP that was once aired your sister station, that it wasnt any good, has all been sorted out. I think as of now, if you take a visit to the place you have a different view of it, he explained.Panwum-Bayoyo further confirmed that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has officially selected the Accra Sports Stadium for the qualifiers, with Ghanas match against Chad scheduled for March 17.As far as we know, the GFA has submitted the stadium, and from our communication with them, the game against Chad will be played here, he confirmed.
