Member of Parliament for New Edubiase constituency, Abdul Salam Adams, has revealed the people in his constituency are\u00a0disappointed that the project has been abandoned.<\/p>\n

Former President John Mahatma cut sod for the construction of the state-of-the-art New Edubiase stadium in 2015.<\/p>\n

However, after the change of government in 2016, the project has been abandoned due to insufficient funds to complete it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Former Sports Minister Isaac Asiamah announced in June 2019 that funds had been secured for the re-design and completion of the project but no progress was made.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Finance Minister, while presenting the 2022 budget, revealed that work will begin on the project in 2022.<\/p>\n
