The stadium was completed in 2008 by the Shanghai Construction Group of China. The stadium looks similar to the Sekondi-Takoradi Stadium.[citation needed] The stadium, which hosted some matches during the 2008 African Cup of Nations, has a capacity of about 20,000.[1][2]

In December 2017, Tamale Sports Stadium was renamed Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium after the late Alhaji Aliu Mahama, the former Vice-President of Ghana.[3]
