Solid and liquid waste from the stadium would be recycled to provide additional energy.<\/p>\n<p>It will also have 4,000 underground parking spaces, equivalent to a four-storey building.<\/p>\n<p>The five-point of the star design of the stadium will have the hotel, offices, conference facilities, entertainment facilities, recreational facilities, shops, restaurants, a world-class sports medicine facility and a national sports museum among others.<\/p>\n<p>The stadium will also be connected to the road and rail networks of the country.<\/p>\n<p><b><\/b>Watch an animated video of the Black Star Stadium below;<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y4f_j-7Gg4I\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 71 updated by: 71 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Wednesday, 4 October 2017 Source: Graphic.com.gh 2017-10-04 play videoThe Black Star Stadium &#13; The National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) has released an animated video of the Black Star Stadium, the facility expected to be the flagship venue for Ghana&#8217;s bid to host the FIFA World Cup in 2038.
