The Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has announced plans for a stadium with a capacity of 50,000 at the Borteyman Sports Complex, which is part of the government’s initiative to develop the area into a contemporary sports city.
In an interview conducted on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, Mr. Adams recognized the infrastructural difficulties facing Ghana’s sports sector but emphasized the government’s dedication to enhancing facilities to meet international standards.
“We are aiming to construct a new stadium of that capacity near our Borteyman Sports Complex. Our goal is to transform the entire area into a sports city or village, allowing international clubs to come for training and accommodation.
“With such a facility, we will also incorporate lodging. Once this is accomplished, in the future, you will not find accommodation for the Black Stars in the national budget. However, we are pursuing a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement,” he elaborated.
He also revealed that the government aims for the new stadium to have at least 50,000 seats, with a completion date set before 2028.
“Our objective is to achieve a minimum of 50,000 seats in the Borteyman area, and we anticipate completing it before 2028,” he stated.
He added that this project is part of a larger strategy to position Ghana as a sports hub in Africa, attract international teams for training camps, and enhance sports tourism.
