The National Sports Authority (NSA) has revealed ticket pricing ranging from GH¢50 to GH¢250 for Ghana's 2027 AFCON qualifier return fixture against Somalia at the Essipong Sports Stadium in Sekondi-Takoradi. In a public notice issued on Friday, November 13, 2026, the Authority outlined five ticket categories. The announcement comes ahead of Monday's return fixture, which will see the Black Stars face Somalia for the second time in four days as both countries continue their Group C qualifying campaign.
According to the NSA's latest announcement, supporters will pay different amounts depending on the section of the stadium they wish to occupy. The ticket prices are as follows: VVIP GH¢250, VIP – Red Seats GH¢150, Yellow Seats GH¢100, Green Seats GH¢100, and Non-Seated Areas GH¢50. The NSA has limited the sale of tickets for the non-seated areas to 2,000. The remaining designated non-seated areas will be reserved exclusively for students who present valid student identification cards.
The Authority says the student arrangements will be subject to crowd-control and stadium safety requirements. The return fixture will take place on Monday, November 16, 2026, at the Essipong Sports Stadium in Sekondi-Takoradi. Kick-off is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. Ghana time (15:00 GMT). Although the match will be played in Ghana, Somalia are officially the designated home team for the encounter because they do not have a stadium approved by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to host the fixture at home.
The Black Stars head into Monday's encounter following a 2-0 victory over Somalia in the first leg on Thursday, November 12, at the same stadium. Defender Jonas Adjetey opened the scoring in the 47th minute before striker Felix Afena-Gyan doubled Ghana's lead in the 62nd minute. The victory gave Ghana their first three points in the qualifying campaign after consecutive defeats to Côte d'Ivoire and The Gambia in their opening two matches.
Another victory on Monday would give Ghana six points and further strengthen their chances of qualifying for the 2027 AFCON tournament, which will be hosted by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. The Black Stars will be hoping to secure maximum points from the two matches against Somalia before turning their attention to their remaining group fixtures. The team will look to build on their momentum from the first leg and make a strong impression in front of their home fans.
The 2027 AFCON tournament is expected to feature 24 teams, with the top two teams from each of the six groups qualifying for the tournament. Ghana's Group C campaign has been marked by inconsistent results, with the team currently sitting in third place. A win against Somalia would be a significant step towards qualifying for the tournament and would give the team a much-needed boost in confidence.
The match is expected to attract a large crowd, with fans eagerly anticipating the return fixture. The NSA has assured that all necessary arrangements have been made to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for spectators. The Authority has also urged fans to purchase tickets from authorized outlets and to be cautious of ticket scams.
