Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is set to commission the University of Ghana Stadium on Friday, March 1, 2024, in preparation for the African Games 2023. The stadium, with a capacity of 20,000, will be the focal point for the field and track disciplines during the two-week competition.
Over 13,000 athletes, officials, and volunteers from 54 African countries are expected to converge in Accra for the African Games, making this event a significant sporting spectacle on the continent. The commissioning of the venue by the Vice President marks the final phase of preparations for the games.
Not long ago, President Akufo-Addo inaugurated the Borteyman Sports Complex, and now the baton has been passed to his vice to commission the Legon Stadium. This demonstrates the government’s commitment to providing world-class sporting facilities for international events.
In anticipation of the African Games, the Ghana Athletics Association recently organized a national open championship at the Legon Stadium. This event served as a test for the newly installed equipment and tracks to ensure they meet the required standards for the upcoming competition.
As the countdown to the African Games continues, all eyes will be on Accra, where the University of Ghana Stadium will play a pivotal role in showcasing the talent and athleticism of athletes from across the continent. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting event.
