We'll establish international standard stadia in all regions - NDC

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) says it is committed to building sports stadiums in all regions of Ghana.

The party's 2024 election manifesto, released on Saturday, promised to dramatically improve sports infrastructure, stimulate talent development across regions, and assure equitable funding for all national teams.

Point three of the NDC sports development said it will "pursue our long-standing policy of establishing international standard stadia in all regions."

Aside from developing new stadiums, existing facilities that look to be poor for use will be rehabilitated.

"Undertake emergency refurbishment of pitches, tracks and other facilities at our national stadia in Accra, Kumasi, Tamale, Cape Coast and Sekondi to meet FIFA standards."

In 2018, the current government started the construction of 10 multipurpose youth resource centres across the country, and the NDC has pledged to "build more multi-purpose sports facilities to promote regional sporting events and inter-school competitions as part of our talent development policy."

The NDC's manifesto also addresses the issue of fairness in sports funding and development. The party has committed to "ensure equitable investments in other national teams, such as women’s football teams, parasports teams, juvenile teams, and lesser-known sports."
