The New Edubiase Stadium which began in 2016 was to accelerate the development of sports within New Edubiase and its environs.
However, the project was suspended after it came to light that the project did not have the needed funds to see to its completion.
The New Edubiase Stadium when completed will bring to six the number of standard government stadia in the country in addition to the Accra Sports Stadium, the Kumasi Baba Yara Stadium, the Sekondi-Essipong Sports Stadium, the Tamale Sports Stadium and the newly-constructed Cape Coast Sports Stadium.
