The biggest opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has promised to continue and complete New Edubiase Sports stadium started by their Government in 2016 if voted into power.
The abandoned stadium initiated by the John Mahama administration was to accelerate the development of sports within New Edubiase and its environs and has been abandoned for reasons difficult to understand.
Launching their manifesto on September 7, 2020, the NDC has promised to wrap up the construction of the New Edubiase Sports Stadium, upgrade the Winneba Sports College into a state-of-the-art Sports University with campuses across the country and Build sports recreational facilities in communities in every district.
The NDC captured the following points regarding sports in their manifesto:
1. Develop specific Sports Centres of Excellence in the three geographical zones of Ghana
2. Develop a strategic framework for the construction of stadia in all districts across the country to scout for sports talents
3. Upgrade the Winneba Sports College into a state-of-the-art Sports University with campuses in selected regions to enhance the human resource base and development of sports in the West African sub-region to provide opportunities for training and capacity building in sports management and administration as well as sports management and science.
4. Continue and complete the New Edubiase Stadium started by the NDC Government
5. Establish sports recreational facilities in communities in every district.
6. Use the Sports Development Fund to assist the Sports Associations to provide and improve remuneration and welfare of local sportsmen and women
