CAF’s announcement means that the second semi-final scheduled for February 3 will go ahead at the ground along with the February 6 final.
CAF Organising Committee unanimously agreed to lift the suspension imposed on the Olembe Stadium,” African football’s governing body said in a statement.
The disaster happened prior to last Monday’s last-16 tie between hosts Cameroon and the Comoros when supporters were caught in a crush at the south entrance gate of the stadium.
The eight dead included a child, while 38 people were also injured.
The semi-final to be played at Olembe will see Cameroon play Egypt.
The other semi-final will be played at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium, also in Yaounde, on February 2.
