The Minister of Youth and Sports, Isaac Kwame Asiamah has cut the sod for the reconstruction of the Nkawkaw Sports Stadium located in the Eastern Region.
At the sod-cutting ceremony for the edifice which is to be constructed at Ata Ne Ata, a community located in the picturesque shadows of the Odweanoma mountain at Nkawkaw, Mr Asiamah said it will be reconstructed into a stadium complex after over 25 years of neglect.

He said the complex will be constructed in two phases over a two-year period and it will have facilities including a 10,000 seater FIFA-standard football stadium, a multi-purpose court for 16 sports disciplines, an IAAF standard track, a gymnasium, a restaurant and a hostel.
Mr Asiamah disclosed that upon completion, the facility which is being funded by the Middle Belt Development Authority would be used to host international sports competitions including football matches of the Black Stars.
He also urged all residents of Nkawkaw to guard the project jealously by preventing nation-wreckers from stealing building equipment and encroaching on the site.
He said the project forms part of the government’s Sports Infrastructure Development (SID) programme and similar and renovation efforts would be undertaken at other community stadiums including, the Wa Malik Jabir Park, Gyandu Park, Bekwai Park, Konongo Town Park, Waterloo Park, T &A Park, Techiman Park and the Sunyani Coronation
Park.
