Former Ghana international Yaw Preko has urged for the renovation of Accra Sports Stadium instead of its demolition, hailing the historic venue as Ghana's equivalent of Wembley Stadium. Recent weeks have seen a surge in calls to demolish and rebuild the stadium, due to worries over its deteriorating condition. Following a recent inspection, critics have dubbed the stadium a "death trap."
Speaking after Black Stars Legends' 6-3 loss to UMB Speed Stars at Adjiringano Astro Turf, Preko emphasized the importance of preserving the stadium's history and heritage. "The Accra Sports Stadium is our Wembley. We can't demolish it, but we can break some places and add other things," he told reporters. A former player for Anderlecht and Fenerbahçe, Preko advocates for reconstructing damaged sections and upgrading the facility rather than replacing it entirely.
Although concerns about the stadium's condition persist, it remains approved by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to host international matches as Ghana gears up for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
