The stadium has two outdoor basketball courts, one handball court, a boxing training court, audience emergency rooms, 22 guestrooms, four athletic lounges among others. The last few years has seen Ghana begin to reap the benefits of the developmental investments made in the youth in the various sporting disciplines. Over the last two years, the progressive prominence of Ghanaian sportswomen and men has been seen at the African Youth Games in Gaborone, Botswana in 2014, the Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China in 2014, the Commonwealth Youth Games in Apia, Samoa in 2015, and the All-Africa Games in Brazzaville, Congo in 2015. As these young athletes develop over the next few years, it provides a great opportunity for Ghana to evolve into a significant sporting powerhouse in multiple sports by the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan.

The athletes bagged 9 medals (8 silver and 1 bronze), mainly in weightlifting and athletics. Later that year, Martha Bissah stunned the world when she won Ghana’s first ever Olympic gold medal at any level in any sport at the Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China. In 2015, a contingent of four athletes (three in athletics and one in swimming) competed in the Commonwealth Youth Games in the Samoan capital of Apia. History repeated itself when another youth athlete, long jumper Richard Seklorwu, of T. I. Ahmadiyyah Senior High School in Kumasi won Ghana’s first ever gold medal in the Commonwealth Youth Games. A few days later, Ghana’s contingent to the All-Africa Games in Brazzaville, Congo, came home with 19 medals. On the backs of two gold medals from men’s lawn tennis and women’s soccer (a first-ever AAG gold medal for the Black Queens) respectively, and with the bulk of the medals (8) coming from the athletics squad, it was encouraging to also see medals from para-athletics, judo, taekwondo, table tennis and boxing as this indicated the depth of quality in Ghana’s sporting disciplines, underscoring our efforts to promote other sporting disciplines in addition to soccer. An aggressive affordable housing programme has been rolled out to provide more Ghanaian families in the lower to middle income bracket with decent homes.
