The government has earmarked GH¢600 million for the construction of 10 multipurpose regional stadia across the country as part of efforts to expand sporting infrastructure and opportunities.
Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson announced the allocation during the presentation of the 2027 Budget Statement to Parliament on Thursday, November 12, 2026.
“We have allocated GH¢600 million within that envelope towards the construction of 10 regional stadia to bring more sporting opportunities within reach,” he said.
According to him, the amount forms part of the GH¢782 million allocated to the Ministry of Sports and Recreation to support the development of sports and participants in the sector.
He said the government would begin the construction of seven 5,000-seater multipurpose regional stadia in the Western North, North East, Ahafo, Upper East, Upper West, Bono East and Oti regions.
Two additional 10,000-seater multipurpose stadia will be constructed in the Savannah and Bono regions.
The Volta Region is also expected to benefit from a 12,000-seater multipurpose stadium, bringing the total number of planned regional stadia to 10.
The initiative is expected to bring sporting facilities closer to communities and provide more opportunities for people across the regions to participate in sports.
