The Essipong Sports Stadium in the Western Region is in a sorry state after it has been left unattended for years.

According to reports, government will have to spend over US$3 million to complete the first phase of the renovation of the project.

In 2020, the Ministry of Youth and Sports disclosed that a contract has been awarded for the renovation of the Essipong Stadium.
