The Ghana Premier League (GPL) match between King Faisal and Berekum Chelsea, scheduled for Sunday, 20 March 2022, at the Baba Yara Stadium, has been rescheduled after the Ghana Football Association (GFA) confirmed the venue will host the first leg of the World Cup playoff tie between Ghana and Nigeria.
According to the GFA, all activities at the Baba Yara sports stadium has been temporarily halted to enable preparations of the stadium for the crucial World Cup tie on Friday, 25 March 2022 at 7:30 pm.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) on Wednesday granted Ghana a one-match permit to use the Baba Yara Sports Stadium for the upcoming 2022 World Cup playoff first leg against Nigeria.
The Black Stars were to host their Nigerian counterparts at the Cape Coast Stadium but the away side complained about the state of the facility prompting CAF to move the match from that ground.
Meanwhile, the outstanding week 21 GPL fixture match will now be played on Wednesday, 6 April 2022 at 3pm.
Berekum Chelsea recorded a 1-0 win over King Faisal when the two teams met at the first half of the season and are currently level on 29 points with the former only ahead on goal difference.
