The state government had long been planning to replace it with a new stadium. The plan was realised when Pantami Stadium was built and commissioned in Gombe in 2010. This newer and more modern facility replaced Abubakar Umar Memorial Stadium in becoming the new official home stadium of Gombe United F.C. However, there have been some concern about neglect of maintenance of Pantami Stadium.[1]
In fact, lack of maintenance for the newer Pantami Stadium has feulled some calls for the government to look to utilize the "abandoned" Abubakar Umar stadium to ease pressure on Pantami Stadium.[1]
