Berekum West MP Dickson Kyere-Duah has urged the demolition and reconstruction of the Accra Sports Stadium, citing extensive deterioration that he observed during a tour of the facility. The lawmaker expressed concern over the stadium's readiness to host major international football events, including the upcoming U-20 Africa Cup of Nations and AFCON qualifiers.
Despite the stadium's impressive appearance during televised night matches, Kyere-Duah noted that a thorough inspection revealed a significant backlog of issues. He emphasized the need for authorities to address the challenges promptly, urging a complete replacement of the existing structure with a modern stadium that adheres to FIFA and CAF standards.
Kyere-Duah described the stadium's condition as "terrible," highlighting the urgent need for action. The Accra Sports Stadium, a prominent venue in Ghana, has been a key host of domestic competitions and international matches, but its current state has raised questions about the country's capacity to meet international standards in the lead-up to hosting the U-20 AFCON and staging AFCON qualifying fixtures.
