Anna Regina Stadium set for March opening

The Anna Regina Stadium

Residents of Anna Regina and the wider Essequibo Coast are set to benefit from a new sporting facility with the planned opening of the Anna Regina National Stadium in March 2026.
Culture, Youth and Sport Minister Charles Ramson Jr made the announcement during the consideration of estimates and expenditure for Budget 2026, saying the project forms part of the drive to develop sporting facilities across the country.
Five stadiums are scheduled to be commissioned this year, along with additional indoor facilities.
“For the people of Anna Regina, they’re going to be really excited. We are going to be opening all five stadiums this year. We’ve already done one; we have four more to go,” the minister said.
The announcement follows the recent opening of the Bayroc National Stadium. The Anna Regina facility is expected to serve as a central hub for sporting activities in Region Two, providing modern amenities and expanded opportunities for athletes along the Essequibo Coast.
Ramson also said the MacKenzie Sports Complex is fully owned by the state and will continue to operate under the established management framework for government facilities, with a focus on serving residents of Linden.
“The MacKenzie Stadium will also be a national stadium. We expect the facility to be ready around April, weather permitting,” he said.
The planned openings of the Anna Regina and MacKenzie stadiums underscore efforts to expand sports infrastructure beyond the capital and improve access to facilities across Guyana. (DPI)
