He explained that the facilities will be constructed in the Western North, Oti, Ahafo, Bono East, Savannah, North East, Upper East, Upper West and Volta regions, with the remaining beneficiary location expected to complete the 10-region plan.
Adams said the mini-stadiums will come with additional facilities to ensure they serve as comprehensive sporting centres for their respective communities.
He also revealed that the Finance Minister has already issued commencement authorization for the project, with the government now working through the processes required to award the contracts.
“We are going through the processes to get these contracts awarded and they will move to the sites immediately,” he added.
The project is part of the government’s broader efforts to improve sports infrastructure and create better opportunities for grassroots sports development.
The project is expected to increase access to sporting infrastructure across the country and provide communities with improved venues for football and other sporting activities.
