All the facilities are currently at the foundation stage but Resident engineer for the project, Frank Fosu says the Borteyman Sports Complex will be ready three(3) months before the commencement of the African Games.
“We are currently working on the foundations and clearing of the site. Because the rainy season is approaching, all our energies are focused on the earth works and that is what we are doing now. And so we will beat the deadline three months before the games so that we can test all the facilities” he told Starr FM Sports.
The African Game which is scheduled to come off on August 4, 2023 will see athletes competing in 25 sporting disciplines.
