The new Cape Coast stadium would be named after late former Ghana president John Evans Atta Mills.

The edifice situated in Abura is now 72% complete and expected to be ready for use this August.

Work on the 15,000 capacity stadium funded with a $30 million Chinese grant started in August 2013 and is expected to be completed in August this year.

Former president Mills played a key role in the project to help improve sports infrastructure in the country.

When completed, the stadium will have eight runway tracks, a natural grass football field, three parking lots, two outdoor basketball courts, one outdoor handball court, a boxing training court, a press conference hall and a media room.

Other facilities include a medical room, an audience emergency room, two referee rooms, three management rooms, three facility storages, two security rooms, two VIP lobby halls, four athletic lounges, 22 guest rooms and a number of track and field sports devices.
