GreenFields Company, a renowned global supplier and innovator of sports turf technology, has officially handed over the Bolgatanga Technical Centre to the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
This allows the GFA to proceed with test trials of the pitch before its official commissioning.
During a ceremony held on May 10, 2023, in Bolgatanga, Alhaji Salifu Zida, Chairman of the Upper East Regional Football Association, received the project documents on behalf of the Ghana Football Association.
The Bolgatanga Astro Turf project's first phase commenced in June 2022. As the second phase progresses, the Ghana Football Association plans to construct changing rooms and spectator stands to enhance the facility.
“The construction of the AstroTurf at Bolgatanga will solve a huge infrastructure deficit in the Upper East Region, as there is no playable football pitch in the entire region,” the GFA said in a statement.
“The project is being undertaken by FIFA from Procurement to completion after the GFA opted to allow FIFA to fully take charge and execute the project considering the timelines, the deadline of the application project per the requirements of the FIFA Forward regulations on the FIFA Forward 1.0.
“Members of the GFA and all stakeholders would recall that the GFA acquired over 6 acres of land at Bolgatanga for the construction of the Upper East Regional Technical Centre.”
