The Committee expressed its satisfaction on the construction of stadia and other aspects related to the tournament. Information pieced together by GNA Sports indicates that the decision was arrived at after the Committee had watched a video on the progress of work on all the four venues, accommodation and training pitches among others. Two new stadia are being built at Tamale and Sekondi with the Accra and Kumasi sport stadiums receiving the needed face-lifting for the competition. The Inspection Team is expected to make its next visit earlier next year to check on the progress of work.
