Following the 13th All-African Games, the government plans to turn the Borteyman Sports Complex into a University for Sports, according to Mustapha Ussif, Minister of Youth and Sports.
Mustapha Ussif stated during a press conference on Monday, March 4, that the government’s plans to appropriately maintain the facilities following the games include this decision.
In order to generate the necessary traffic, he informed the media that additional amenities like dorms, soccer fields, cafeterias, and medical centers will be added to the building.
“To ensure that the facilities are well maintained for the continuous benefit of the good people of Ghana, the facilities at Borteyman will be converted to a university for sports and I have mentioned on countless occasions that the vision of the Republic of Ghana is to ensure that once we finish with the games, we convert those facilities to a university for sports to ensure sustainability and legacy of the games. “Additionally, infrastructure such as hostel facilities, football pitches, cafeterias, and medical centres will be provided at the site to attract local and foreign federations to camp in Ghana and prepare for various competitions.“The expectation is that once we finish these games, we should use the facilities that we have gotten to drive more traffic for competitions here in Ghana.”
