Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has stressed that government remains committed to accelerating sports development in the country.

He announced on Friday, March 1, when he commissioned the University of Ghana Sports Stadium and Rugby Field, which will be used for the African Games, Accra 2023, alongside the newly-built, multi-purpose Borteyman Sports Complex.

According to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the commissioning of the University of Ghana Sports Stadium, and the rugby field, indicates Ghana's preparedness to host Africa's greatest sports festival, for the first time in our country's history on March 8.

“Today's commissioning, in addition to the world-class facilities at the Borteyman Sports Complex, the 10 sports stadia in each of the 10 old regions (6 completed) and the over 150 community astro turfs, demonstrate our government's unwavering commitment to providing the needed infrastructure to accelerate Ghana's sports development,” Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia said.

The Vice President said the completion of the University of Ghana Stadium, which was started by the Government of President J. A. Kufuor, but was abandoned by successive governments for 8 years, is exciting for two reasons.

He said it will not only be the main centre for the African Games, but the facility is also a fitting legacy to the University of Ghana, as it marks its 75th Anniversary.
