 A stadium that was one time amongst the best in Africa was abandoned and suffered neglect for over 20 years.


Liberty has now truly returned to the edifice, with the infrastructure drive of the Ministry of Youth and Sports Development under the leadership of Hon. Sunday Dare turning carcasses to life.
