Ghana is preparing to elevate its sports infrastructure with the construction of a 50,000-capacity Olympic-standard stadium at the Borteyman Sports Complex. The announcement, made by Sports and Recreation Minister Kofi Adams, outlines a bold plan to transform the site into a world-class venue capable of hosting global events.
The Borteyman Sports Complex, which previously hosted the 2023 African Games, will be expanded to include modern facilities for football, athletics, and large-scale ceremonies. Land near the Nungua farms has already been secured, and the government is actively pursuing external funding to begin construction.
Although no physical work has started, an environmental impact assessment has been completed, clearing the way for the next phase. Contractors have indicated that, once financing is secured, the stadium can be completed within 24 months. The target is to finish the project before 2028.
Beyond sports, the stadium is expected to boost Ghana’s reputation as a destination for international competitions and training camps. It also aligns with broader efforts to reduce logistical costs for national teams by integrating accommodation and support facilities into the complex.
The initiative reflects Ghana’s ambition to become a leading sports hub in Africa, with Borteyman positioned as the centerpiece of that vision.
