“Ghana agree to host Liberia’s World Cup qualifier

The Liberia Football Association and Ghana Sports Council (GSC) have agreed to rent the Accra Sports Stadium to serve as a home ground for Liberia.

Liberia will take on Cape Verde in a World Cup qualifier on 7 October in Accra and 12 October in Praia.

The GSC had charged US$20,000 but the Liberian government will pay US$15,000, excluding other match coordination costs, following appeals by Sports Minister Zeogar Wilson.

A team from Monrovia will be dispatched to Ghana to begin a match coordination with Ghana Football Association.

Liberia will have back-to-back games in November if CAF is pleased with progress being made on the playing pitch at the Samuel Kanyon Doe sports complex.”
