Baba Yara Sports Stadium also referred to as the Kumasi Sports Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Kumasi, in the Ashanti Region. It is Ghana's largest stadium, with a seating capacity of 40,528.
The Baba Yara Sports Stadium is used mostly for football matches, although it is also used for athletics.
The stadium was originally built by the United African Company (UAC) in 1957 and inaugurated as a designated football pitch in 1959.
The first stands were constructed in 1971. The stadium was rebuilt in 1977. It was renamed after Kotoko legend Baba Yara (1936–1969, active for Asante Kotoko 1955–1961 under the New Patriotic Party government in 2004.
The third major works ended in 2008. As part of the works, the west stand was demolished to be replaced by a two-tier stand with press, corporate, and VIP facilities.
The rest of the stands were upgraded, seats were added, and transparent panels were installed to separate the spectator area from the playing area in order to prevent pitch invasions.
