Sports and Recreation Minister Kofi Adams has revealed ambitious plans to upgrade Ghana's major sporting facilities, aiming to secure approval from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and FIFA. The main focus of the renovation project is the Essipong Sports Stadium, where the minister expressed confidence that the facility could become one of Ghana's premier venues if the renovation progresses as planned.
Adams stated that the government will complete the renovation of Essipong before moving on to other key stadiums such as Baba Yara Sports Stadium, Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium, Cape Coast Stadium, and the Accra Sports Stadium. The goal is to have at least four of these venues approved by CAF, allowing Ghana to host major international football competitions.
This renovation initiative is part of the government's broader strategy to enhance Ghana's sporting infrastructure and increase the nation's capability to host significant football events. Recently, Essipong Sports Stadium will be the stage for Ghana's upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Somalia, with the Black Stars hosting the match on Thursday, November 12, followed by the return game on Monday, November 16.
