Accra Sports Stadium after BHIMFEST
The Accra Sports Stadium pitch has emerged in impressive condition following the high-profile BHIMFEST 2025 concert headlined by Stonebwoy, easing long-standing concerns about the impact of non-football events on Ghana’s premier sporting venue.
BHIMFEST 2025 was staged on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, at the Accra Sports Stadium, one of several major concerts held at the venue during an intense festive season.
Despite the heavy foot traffic, stage installations and large crowds, the playing surface has remained largely intact, thanks to newly acquired pitch covers.
The NSA confirmed that the protective covers were installed ahead of recent events as part of measures to preserve the stadium’s playing surface during non-sporting activities.
Installation began at the Accra Sports Stadium weeks ago, with more events scheduled in the coming weeks.

Following the festive run of events, recovery work on the pitch is now almost complete.
Groundsmen have carried out minor repair works, grass treatment and surface leveling to ensure the pitch meets required standards for competitive football.
Early visual checks show the pitch still looking green and firm, a significant improvement compared to previous years when concerts often left the surface damaged.
