Ghana to host 2018 CHAN tournament?

The Minister for Youth and Sports, Isaac Asiamah says Ghana is ready to host the rest of Africa in the 2018 African Nations Championship (CHAN).

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced over the weekend that Kenya has been stripped of hosting rights for the 2018 CHAN tournament.

And after Ghana hosted a colourful WAFU tournament, which saw the CAF President in attendance for the final, they are in a pole position to be resorted to for the CHAN tournament.

The Minister of Youth and Sports has expressed Ghana’s readiness for the tournament if they are called upon.

“Ghana is already hosting CAF Africa Women Championship in 2018. We just got the information that CAF have stripped off the hosting right from Kenya due to some reasons,” he said.

“As a country we are ready to Host any CAF organized tournament. We did well in hosting the WAFU tournament without any bad report. The Fox Sports people were happy about the whole organization including the infrastructures we used . Almost Cape Coast alone had been able to host the WAFU.

“We have Tamale Sports Stadium, Kumasi Sports Stadium and the renovation of Accra Sports Stadium will start this year so Ghana stands at any point in time to host CAF tournament.

The Black Stars B who won the WAFU Cup failed to book a place in the 2018 Chan tournament, so this is an opportunity for them to make a representation.
