Ghana
Ohene Djan Stadium
The Ohene Djan Stadium is a football stadium in Accra, with a capacity of 40 000. Originally known as the Accra Sports Stadium, it was renamed after Ohene Djan, the country's first Director of Sports, in 2004. Its renaming was controversial and opposed by many in Accra's Ga community who felt that a prominent Ga should be given the honour since the stadium is a centrepiece of downtown Accra. Nonetheless, the stadium is considered by many to be the national stadium.
As a designated venue of some of the 2008 African Cup of Nations matches, the stadium was rebuilt, upgraded and modernised to meet FIFA standards. Work on the stadium was completed in October 2007. It was inaugurated with the Zenith Cup, which Ghana won.
The stadium is also the home of one of Africa's most popular clubs, Accra Hearts of Oak SC.
