Ghana fans hoping to get U-20 tournament

Ghana is still undecided on whether they’ll want to take up the option to host the 2011 Africa Youth Championships after Libya was stripped off the hosting rights last week.

Protest all over the north African state geared toward ousting incumbent leader Muamar Gaddafi has raised serious security concerns with hundreds reported dead already.

Ghana has however been one of the few alternative options opened to Caf but must first accept the responsibility which according to Ghana FA boss Kwasi Nyantakyie is under consideration.

“It is an eight team tournament so you need two stadiums which we have” he said .

“There are other issues like hotels for the visiting teams and officials and the financial commitment required to do it. I spoke to the Minister about it and we will now have to make a decision whether we want to make that commitment now.”

Ghana last hosted the Africa Youth Championships in 1999. They were heading into the 2011 edition as defending champions.
