Ghanaian sports administrator Dr. Randy Abbey has voiced his disappointment regarding the condition of the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium in Tamale.

The stadium, which underwent renovations in 2017 and was subsequently renamed in honour of the late former Vice President of Ghana, Alhaji Aliu Mahama, has now deteriorated significantly.

Randy Abbey, who was in Tamale for the Ghana Football Association's elections, expressed his dismay at the stadium's frontage, which he characterised as "extremely dirty."

"I saw something and it really was an eyesore," Randy Abbey said on his Good Morning Ghana show.

"Driving on the Aliu Mahama Stadium Road, I saw the frontage; it looks so extremely dirty. For an edifice like that cited on the main road, just use white paint to make the thing look good, even if the interiors are bad.

"Driving past the place it should occur to somebody that at least the frontage of the stadium should look good. What I saw was terrible," Randy Abbey who won his re-election as a GFA ExCo member said.

Constructed in 2007, the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium is one of the venues that accommodated the 2008 AFCON and serves as the home ground for Ghana Premier League clubs Tamale City and Real Tamale United.

During the GFA elections conducted on October 5, 2023, Dr. Randy Abbey successfully secured his position on the Executive Council, amassing 12 votes, which was the highest count among the Premier League candidates.
