Works at the Baba Yara Stadium is close to completion after been closed for more than one year for renovation works.

The facility has been closed down since February 2020 for renovation works to be carried out at the stadium.

Clubs who play at the stadium will breathe a huge sigh of relief as the renovation has rendered homeless jumping from one venue to the other.

Since the closure of the stadium, Kotoko have adopted the Accra Sports Stadium and now Obuasi Len Clay as their grounds for league and continental games something which has adversely cost the club economically as they always have to commute between Kumasi and Accra for their home matches and now Obuasi.

King Faisal have also been forced to adopt the Techiman Park since the closure of the Baba Yara Stadium.

The NSA boss, Prof Peter Twumasi in February in an interview with Happy FM, said the project would be completed in March but that never happened.

“We are hoping by the end of March the job will be completed and handed over to the NSA”, he NSA boss told Happy FM.

“The major problem was the pitch and that has been worked on. Since 2007 no renovation work had been done but now it has been done. The pitch has been rolled out and we are waiting for the grass to grow and get better. The seats have all been put in place, the floodlights, scoreboard, tartans tracks are already”.

“The contract was a one-year contract and we are hoping by March ending the contractor should be done. We are pleading with Kotoko to be patient with us. The work will be completed soon”, he added.
