However, reports suggest that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) could strip Ghana of the hosting rights.

This is due to the fallout between government and the GFA, which has led to the suspension of all football activities in the country.

The Ghana FA has been hit hard by an exposé by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas which uncovered rots in the football fraternity.

The exposé, dubbed ‘Number 12’, implicated over 70 referees and football officials, including FA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi.
