The condition of the Accra Sports Stadium has taken a downturn following the conclusion of Stonebwoy’s highly successful BHIM concert on December 23, 2023.
A recently surfaced video on GhanaWeb reveals a distressing state of the pitch, making it unsuitable for hosting football matches in the foreseeable future. The extensive use of the pitch during the concert, which included motorbike stunts and the installation of a stage, has left visible marks and demarcations on the once pristine field.
During the event, motorbike riders showcased daring stunts on the pitch, further contributing to its deterioration. The stage was positioned on the pitch, and sections of it were allocated for VIP ticket holders, intensifying the wear and tear.
Notably, Stonebwoy’s grand entrance for the seventh edition of the concert added to the spectacle, but it came at the expense of the stadium’s playing surface. The aftermath of the concert reflects a stark contrast to the stadium’s former lush and vibrant state, causing apprehension among sports enthusiasts.
Despite these concerns, the Accra Sports Stadium is slated to host two additional concerts before the year’s end. Due to the upcoming events and the current condition of the venue, it has been temporarily restricted from hosting sporting events until further notice.
