Equatorial Guinea want their match with Ghana moved to Bata

Africa Cup of Nations hosts Equatorial Guinea have complained over having to leave their base in Bata to play Thursday’s semi-final against Ghana in Malabo.

Nzalang Nacional have created a fortress in Bata where they have not lost an international game.

Equatorial Guinea’s team has reportedly argued against moving the game to Malabo, saying the 15 000-capacity stadium there will be overrun by the home fans.

Their quarterfinal against Tunisia was originally scheduled for the 8 000-capacity Ebebiyin Stadium, but CAF later moved it to the 35 000-capacity Estadio de Bata.
