Kumasi likely venue for Stars game

The Black Stars look to be heading to Kumasi for their first game in a year on home soil for their 2012 Nations Cup qualifier against Sudanon October 10.

The Ohene Djan Stadium in Accra was due to host that qualifier but KickOffGhana.com understands a fault with the floodlights has forced a rethink in venues.

The Baba Yara Stadium will thus host the Stars in their first game in Ghana since honouring their final game in the 2010 Nations Cup qualifier at the same venue in November last year.

It will also be the first game on home soil this year for the Black Stars after they reached the finals of the 2010 Nations Cup and the last eight of the 2010 World Cup.

But the coach who supervised that campaign Milovan Rajevac is no more, his place taken by former assistant Kwesi Appiah for one game. And Appiah will know the venue well having played for and captained Asante Kotoko for several years.
