“After careful consideration, we revised our initial plan to hold the semi-finals and finals at the newly constructed Tarkwa TNA Stadium and Legon Stadium, respectively. However, the TNA stadium was not yet ready,” he explained.

Arthur expressed a preference for hosting both the semi-finals and finals at the Legon Stadium in future editions of the competition.
