The Essipong Sports Stadium in the Western Region is in a sorry state after it has been left unattended for years.
According to reports, government will have to spend over US$3 million to complete the first phase of the renovation of the project.
In 2020, the Ministry of Youth and Sports disclosed that a contract has been awarded for the renovation of the Essipong Stadium.
The Essipong Stadium has been in a deplorable state since it hasn’t had renovations since its completion for the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations.
Roofing systems have been torn, exposing the steel frames to corrosion. Washrooms, office spaces, hostels have all suffered some magnitude of deterioration.
The former Minister of Youth and Sports, Isaac Kwame Asiamah disclosed that the renovation of the stadium will be carried out in two phases.
