By Musa Barrow
The Sukuta football field will be grassed to transform the ground into a standard playing field, in an eight hundred thousand dalasis (800,000) project by the Sukuta Youth and Sports Association (SYSA).The project which was launched by the SoS for Youth and Sports Sheikh Omar Faye, will also include a perimeter fence round the playing ground.
In his introductory remarks, Buba Cham chairperson of SYSA said the source of funding for the project is gate fees donations and fundraising activities undertaken by the association. He emphasized that the cardinal objective of his association is to develop the young in order to enable them fully participate in nation building, and applauded the various football clubs in Sukuta for their understanding.
