Despite the overall project cost not being publicly disclosed, oil giant ExxonMobil has pledged some $3.7 billion as part of its $20 billion “Greater Guyana” initiative. The construction is being carried out by Owen Steel Company Inc. and Caribbean Green Building Inc.
Minister of Culture, Youth, and Sport Charles Ramson Jr. reaffirmed the government’s commitment to delivering at least five new stadiums by 2025, including those in Mackenzie, Bayroc, New Amsterdam, and Anna Regina. These facilities are expected to bolster sports development and provide venues for community engagement across the country.
