The government has suspended the construction of any new stadium across the country with immediate effect.
Sports and Youths Affairs Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba on Saturday announced that the move is aimed at coming up with a concrete plan to construct and improve all stadia infrastructures to international standards.
“We have suspended construction of all sporting infrastructure. We want to come up with standards and a master plan first. When we start construction, they will be above standards,” Namwamba said.
