CONSTRUCTION of a new multipurpose stadium at Palmyra, in Region Six, is advancing quickly, according to President Dr. Irfaan Ali in a recent Facebook post.
The 10,000-capacity facility began construction in March 2023 and is designed to meet International Cricket Council (ICC) standards. It can also accommodate other sports, concerts, and large events.
While the total project cost has not been publicly disclosed, oil company ExxonMobil has pledged $3.7 billion as part of its $20 billion “Greater Guyana” initiative.  Owen Steel Company Inc. and Caribbean Green Building Inc. are handling construction.

Minister Charles Ramson Jr recently stated the government’s commitment to opening at least five new stadiums in 2025, including the one at Palmyra.
Other locations include Mackenzie, Bayroc, New Amsterdam, and Anna Regina.

The government also plans to upgrade numerous community grounds nationwide.
