Ghana’s Minister of Finance, Dr Cassiel Ato Forson, has revealed plans to construct three modern stadia in regions currently lacking such facilities in 2026.
The announcement was made on Thursday, November 13, 2025, during the presentation of the 2026 Budget Statement to Parliament.
At present, eight regions, including Ahafo, North East, Savannah, Oti, and Western North, do not have standard sports infrastructure.
“Construction of modern stadia will begin in three of the eight regions without such facilities,” Dr Forson confirmed, emphasising the government’s commitment to developing sports nationwide.
In addition to infrastructure, the Ministry of Youth and Sports will pursue legislative measures for a National Sports College Bill and a Sports University Bill. The ministry also plans to enhance grassroots sports by organising inter-school, district, and regional competitions across the country.
Specific locations for the new stadia have not yet been disclosed, but the projects signal a major step in improving access to modern sporting facilities, fostering talent development, and supporting national and regional sporting events in Ghana.
