Construction edit
Construction for the Borteyman Sports Complex begun in 2021.[4] Initially, the plan was to construct a 50,000 capacity stadium. These plans were shelved due to time constraints.[5] The cost of construction of the sports complex was $145 million[5] and could rise to $190 million if educational facilities are added, in a move to convert it into a University of Sports for Development after the Africa Games.[6]
Facilities edit
The Borteyman Sports Complex can accommodate seven competitive sports, including table tennis, handball, tennis, volleyball, swimming, badminton, and the triathlon.[7]
It features a 1,000-seater capacity swimming pool, comprising a 10-lane competition swimming pool and an eight-lane warm-up swimming pool, alongside a multi-purpose Sports Hall capable of seating 1,000 spectators for various events such as basketball, badminton, netball, table tennis, and weightlifting.[8]
