Vice President of the Republic and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), H.E Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has on March 3, 2024, commissioned the University of Ghana Sports Stadium and Rugby Field alongside the multi-purpose Borteyman Sports Complex in the same event in Accra.
He noted that, “The commissioning of the University of Ghana Sports Stadium, and the Rugby field, indicates Ghana’s preparedness to host Africa’s greatest sports festival, for the first time in our country’s history from March 8 to March 23, 2024”.
Adding that, “The completion of the University of Ghana Stadium, which was started by the Government of President J.A. Kufuor, but was abandoned by successive governments for 8 years, is exciting for two reasons. It is not only going to be the main centre for the African Games, the facility is also a fitting legacy to the University of Ghana, as it marks its 75th Anniversary”.
The commissioning, in addition to the world-class facilities at the Borteyman Sports Complex, the 10 sports stadia in each of the then 10 regions with 6 completed, the 150 plus community astro turfs, indicates Government’s unwavering commitment to providing the needed infrastructure to enhance sports development in the country.
