Cape Coast stadium to host Black Stars 2017 AFCON qualifier against Rwanda

Ghana's 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Rwanda in September will be played at the newly constructed 15,000 seater Cape Coast stadium, the country's sports minister has revealed.

The Black Stars will take on the Amavubi in the reverse fixture of the qualifying campaign for the continental showpiece in Gabon next year.

The West African hammered beat their opponent 1-0 in Kigali last year and should have secured qualification for the biannual event before the meeting of the two nations.

And the country's sport minister Nii Lante Vanderpuye has revealed the clash against the Amavubi will be played at the Cape Coast stadium in September this year.

"The next Black Stars match will be played at the Cape Coast stadium," he said

"The ministry has decided and will consult the Ghana FA on this matter."

The Black Stars will secure qualification to the tournament next year with at least a draw against Mauritius in their next qualifier in June this year.
