Accra, March 2 (HS). Ghana's Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia on Friday inaugurated the main venue of the 13th African Games to be held in Ghana this month.
With a capacity of 11,000 seats, the university's sports stadium has facilities for all track and field events. The stadium will also host the opening and closing ceremonies of the Games.
Bawumia was quoted by Xinhua as saying that when Ghana received the green light to host the Games, it had inadequate infrastructure, which placed the onus on the country to build more infrastructure to make the dream of hosting its first African Games possible. Given a huge responsibility to do.
He said the country needs hard work and dedication to build the necessary infrastructure and get ready to host the Games, just a week away.
“The commissioning of the University of Ghana Sports Stadium is another major step forward for Ghana which reflects our preparedness to host the African Games in a matter of days,” Bawumia said.
The 13th African Games begin next Friday in the Ghanaian capital Accra, with the coastal city of Cape Coast hosting some of the events.
