Advanced tickets will be sold for the Ghana�s opening 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Lesotho on Friday at the Baba Yara Stadium. The innovation is in compliance of a FIFA directive as a way of managing stadium attendance for the campaign. �Fifa has ordered that all its sanctioned matches, tickets should be sold in advance,� Safety Officer of the National Sports Authority Smart Abbey told Kumasi-based Angel FM. �It was communicated to the FA (Ghana FA) and the FA had made us aware so we have no choice than to comply with this directive.� Abbey adds prudent measures are being taken by the stakeholders to ensure there is no duplication of tickets for the game in Kumasi. �The FA is handling the situation tactfully; it (GFA) had engaged a company to do this. �It is not going to be like a normal ticket paper that we are used to, I understand it will be electronic and we are all committed to seeing through the process to a successful end.�
