Ghana to build 10 new stadiums in underserved regions in 2027
The multipurpose venues, seating 5,000 to 12,000, are meant to support school and grassroots sport. Locations and costs have not yet been given.
Accra — Ghana will build 10 new multipurpose stadiums in underserved regions in 2027, Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson said as he presented the 2027 budget to Parliament on Thursday.
"In 2027, Government will advance its sports infrastructure development programme through the construction of 10 new multipurpose sports stadia, with seating capacities ranging from 5,000 to 12,000, in underserved regions," he said.
For grassroots sport
The venues are meant to support school and grassroots sport, organised competitions, talent identification and the progression of young athletes, and to give communities with little access to modern facilities a proper place to train and play.
The budget's wider sports plans include completing the National Sports Policy, finalising regulations under the Ghana Sports Fund Act, 2025, and reviewing the Sports Act, 2016.
Details to come
The minister did not name the regions that will get the stadiums, or give construction timelines or estimated costs, MyJoyOnline noted. Those details will matter in judging the scale of the programme.
