The fans of Liberia Lone Star will have to sit in front of their TV screen to watch their darling team host the Super Eagles of Nigeria in a 2022 World Cup qualifying match on November 11 2021.

Africa’s football governing body (CAF) have place a ban on Liberia’s SKD Sports Stadium due to below standard  facility. Meanwhile, Morocco has shown a kind gesture to the request made by the Liberia Football Association  (LFA) to use the  Grand Stade de Tanger stadium for the rest of Lone Star’s home matches in the 2022 Qatar World Cup Qualifiers. 

According to Liberian Observer, CAF in a letter to the Liberia Football Association, affirmed that the SKD Sports Stadium lacks several criteria and requirements to properly host international senior competitions.

“We would like to point out that among other stadium requirements; one of the main concerns in the stadium is the pitch in the field of play, which is not up to the required level to host CAF/FIFA matches. As a technical recommendation, the stadium management should consider removing the pitch altogether and installing a new one, while hiring  a professional company to conduct a full assessment of the ground and subsequently assist with the maintenance of the pitch,” CAF said in its communication.

The 45,000 capacity Grand Stade de Tanger  stadium is located in the port city of Tangier and it’s home to Moroccan top club IR Tanger,.
