The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has rejected Asante Kotoko’s request to use the Baba Yara Stadium for their CAF Confederation Cup fixture against Moroccan side Wydad Athletic Club.
Despite recent improvements, the continental body deemed the facility unfit to stage the crucial encounter.
New Venue And Schedul
The match will now be played at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, October 19, 2025, with a 3:00 pm kickoff.
This change in venue presents a new challenge for Kotoko, who will have to travel to Accra ahead of the match.
Kotoko’s Recent Performance
Kumasi Asante Kotoko progressed to this stage after eliminating Nigeria’s Kwara United with a 5-3 aggregate victory in the first-round encounter. The team will look to build on this momentum as they face Wydad Athletic Club.
