ACCORDING to government updates, the redevelopment of the Mackenzie Sports Club Ground into a modern stadium of international standard is progressing. Seating has now been installed in the first of two spectator stands.
The upgraded facility, soon to be known as the Mackenzie Stadium, features a significantly enhanced outfield, an international-grade pitch suitable for multiple sports, automated irrigation system and ICC-approved floodlights.

President Irfaan Ali’s office stated in a recent briefing that the stadium is on schedule to be finished and ready for its inaugural events by mid-2025.
The venue will accommodate nearly 4,000 spectators across two stands and a grass embankment area.

This project is a key component of a broader government initiative to modernise sports infrastructure throughout Guyana.
Similar stadium developments are underway in Bayroc, Anna Regina, New Amsterdam, and Palmyra, all of which are scheduled for completion in 2025. These developments aim to boost the nation’s sporting capabilities and provide better facilities for athletes and fans.
