The government has set aside GH¢600 million for the construction of 10 regional stadia, as part of efforts to expand sporting infrastructure nationwide.
Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson announced the funding while presenting the 2027 Budget Statement to Parliament on Thursday, November 12, 2026.
He said the allocation is included in a total of GH¢782 million for the Ministry of Sports and Recreation to support the development of sports and the people who take part in sporting activities.
As part of the programme, seven multipurpose stadia, each with a capacity of 5,000, will be built in the Western North, North East, Ahafo, Upper East, Upper West, Bono East and Oti regions.
Two more multipurpose stadia, each accommodating 10,000 people, are planned for the Savannah and Bono regions, while the Volta Region will receive a 12,000-capacity facility.
The projects are expected to broaden regional access to sporting facilities and provide venues for sporting activities and competitions.
“Of this amount, we will begin the construction of seven 5,000-seater multipurpose regional stadiums in Western North, North East, Ahafo, Upper East, Upper West, Bono East and Oti regions,” Dr Forson told Parliament.
He said the remaining projects would consist of two 10,000-seater stadia in the Savannah and Bono regions, along with a 12,000-capacity facility in the Volta Region.
