This was contained in a statement from CAF on guidelines for the upcoming AFCON matches.

According to the statement, this has been decided due to the rising of cases of Coronavirus in some of the African countries.
Part of the statement also states that, “if the government of the host Association wants spectators to be present, then the Association in question will need to obtain CAF’s approval”

“The objective of the emergency measures is to supervise the resumption of football on the continent, by defining a plan which places an emphasis on the players and the game. These specific rules may be revised according to developments of the health situation in the world and specifically on the African continent.”
This means that Ghana’s game against Sudan at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium on Thursday, November 12, 2020 could be played behind closed doors.
