In 2017, Ethiopian-Saudi billionaire Sheikh Mohammed Al Amoudi, who was once the richest African on the planet, funded the construction of the then beautiful 25k seater Woldia stadium in his hometown. It was made for the local Woldia Football Club, and complemented the city quite nicely.
Fast forward to 2024, the stadium's grass is brown, facilities are neglected. It was occupied by Tigrayan rebels in 2021, and used by Ethiopian soldiers as a base in 2020 and now in 2024.
