This, Mr. Asiamah said, “has never happened before in this country, adding that “it is a major intervention by the President in making sure that we have modern sporting facilities across the country.”
The Adaklu Youth and Sports Resource Centre was initially meant to have a 5,000-seating capacity, however, the Minister announced that plans have been made to increase the seating-capacity of the facility to 10,000.
“This is not just a sports stadium, it is more than a sports stadium because of its additional facilities. When it is completed, it will have a FIFA-standard football pitch, a modern 9-lane athletics track, tennis courts, basketball, handball and volleyball courts, and a modern gymnasium,” the Sports Minister added.
