Akufo-Addo Fires NSA Boss Over Stadium Mismanagement
Dodzie Numekevor Relieved of Duties Amid CAF Ban and AFCON 2025 Qualifier Uncertainty
Ghana’s President Akufo-Addo Sacks NSA Director General Dodzie Numekevor
Reason: Mismanagement of Sports Facilities and CAF Ban
Ghana’s President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has relieved Dodzie Numekevor of his duties as Director General of the National Sports Authority (NSA), effective immediately.
Background:
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) recently revoked the Baba Yara Sports Stadium’s license to host international matches due to subpar facilities. This decision prompted President Akufo-Addo’s action.
Controversy:
Numekevor’s dismissal is linked to renting the stadium for a six-day church event before Ghana’s crucial AFCON 2025 qualifier against Angola.
Consequences:
Ghana may be forced to play home matches outside the country, with Togo considered as a potential venue for the upcoming AFCON 2025 qualifier against Sudan.
