The Minister of Finance, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson, has announced the government’s plan to construct three new modern stadia in regions currently without such facilities.
He made the announcement on Thursday, November 13, 2025, while presenting the 2026 Budget Statement to Parliament.
Currently, eight regions — including Ahafo, North East, Savannah, Oti, and Western North — lack standard sports infrastructure.
“Construction of modern stadia will begin in three of the eight regions without such facilities,” Dr. Forson stated.
He added that the Ministry of Youth and Sports will also initiate legislative processes for the establishment of a National Sports College Bill and a Sports University Bill, as well as organize inter-school, district, and regional sports competitions across the country.
Details regarding the specific locations of the new stadia are yet to be disclosed.
