Nene Shadrack Mase, who led the Task Force team, indicated that the debt has been gathered over a 10-month period.

According to him, the leadership of Accra Sports Stadium failed in making a 50% payment of the total debt, leading to the cut in power.

Mr. Mase also confirmed that the stadium will be without a power supply till management makes a 75% payment of the total debt.

“What they have to do to be restored is pay one-fourth or 75% of the total debt and the rest of the debt will be scheduled for them. If there is a defaultment in payment, they will be cut off again,” Mr Mase said to JoySports.

He stated that ECG have not received any assurance that the stadium’s debt is going to be met.

“No assurances had been given to us as we left the place. But if effort is being done on their part, the officer in charge of the schedule will inform us and we will restore power for them.”

The Accra Sports Stadium serves as the home ground for Premier League sides, Legon Cities, and Hearts of Oak. The Phobians, currently 6th on the table, will engage AshGold on Sunday.
