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