President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has sack the Director General of the National Sports Authority (NSA), Dodzie Numekevor, with prompt effect.
The dismissal follows the Confederation of African Football’s (CAF) choice to deny the Baba Yara Sports Stadium`s permit for hosting international matches.
Reports propose that the move was set off by the decision to lease the Stadium out for a six-day church event not long before Ghana’s AFCON 2025 qualifier against Angola.
President Akufo-Addo reportedly considered those answerable for the rental accountable and instructed Sports Minister Mustapha Ussif that he would be considered mindful assuming Ghana needed to play any home matches beyond the country because of scene issues.
Following this, Sports Minister Ussif, through his Chief Director William Kartay Caesar, addressed Numekevor, requesting a clarification for the humiliation caused to the presidency and the country.
Numekevor had until September 18, 2024, to answer, yet the President, disappointed with the condition of sports infrastructure under his authority, pursued the choice to eliminate him from office on Tuesday evening.
Before his excusal, Numekevor had shut the Baba Yara, Accra, and Cape Coast stadium for support because of mounting worries over the decaying states of the offices.
CAF had likewise suggested the remaking of the Baba Yara pitch and raised worries about the unfortunate condition of the Accra and Cape Coast stadium in a letter to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) on September 10.
The GFA was told to select an approved venue outside Ghana to host Sudan for the 2025 AFCON qualifiers, with Togo as of now being considered as a backup option.
Numekevor had been filling in as interim Director General of the NSA since February 26, 2024, subsequent to succeeding Professor Peter Twumasi, who stood firm on the foothold for a considerable length of time.
In the mean time, Ghana will face Sudan in a doubleheader of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. The Black Stars will have the Birds of prey at a still in question scene prior to making a trip to play the second Gathering F game at the Al-Merrikh Stadium.
