The Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium, formerly Tamale Sports Stadium, is a multipurpose stadium in Tamale, Ghana, mostly used for football matches as well as a place for hosting events, and serves as the home stadium of Real Tamale United, Tamale City FC ,and Steadfast FC.
The stadium was completed in 2008 by the Shanghai Construction Group of China. The stadium looks similar to the Sekondi-Takoradi Stadium.[citation needed] The stadium, which hosted some matches during the 2008 African Cup of Nations, has a capacity of about 20,000.[1][2]
In December 2017, Tamale Sports Stadium was renamed Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium after the late Alhaji Aliu Mahama, the former Vice-President of Ghana.[3]
