A powerful rainstorm that struck Saturday evening has caused significant damage to the roofing of the VIP stands and other sections of the Sunyani Coronation Park.
The most affected areas were the left and right wings of the VIP stands, portions of the Jubilee stand, and the DKM stand.
The rainstorm began around 17:15 hours Saturday evening and lasted until 18:30 hours.
According to an eyewitness, Mr Francis Ankamah Wanney, Secretary of the Bono Ahafo Regional Football Association, the rain started shortly after an FA Cup round of 16 match between Sunyani Prisons Ladies and Kumasi Sports Academy at the Park.
He said portions of the roofing of the left wing of the VIP stands collapsed onto a Northern Electricity Development Company (NEDCo) light pole at the Park, near the RFA office, causing a blackout in the area.
Additionally, the falling roof from the right wing of the VIP stands narrowly missed.
