Barely a week after the aesthetic Cape Coast Stadium was commissioned, the pavements outside the stadium have started to crumble, leaving many to wonder if the edifice can stand the test of time.

Some pictures circulating on various social media platforms show sections of the pavements outside the ultra-modern stadium broken up and showing cracks in other parts.

It is believed that a fire tender drove off the pavements breaking the blocks into pieces.

The inauguration of the newly built Cape Coast Stadium Tuesday was marred by a poor spectacle that portrayed an ailing principle of maintenance culture by Ghanaians when some fans were seen standing on plastic chairs.

The stadium, which sits 16,000 people, was constructed by Chinese firm Jiang Xi International Corporation and was fully financed by the Chinese government.

Construction was completed earlier this year and following its official opening, the ground will now be available to the general public.

The stadium has a tennis court, a gymnasium, an eight-lane running track, two basketball courts, handball courts, halls for table tennis and accommodation for athletes.
