The project when realised he furthered, will be of great importance to the sport loving youths of Kumba and other enthusiast whose dreams and passion will be nursed while offering relieve and entertainment.
Football encounters are currently served supporters at the GPS field in Kumba. Seilenu Precious, a sports reporter in the town says the infrastructure doesn’t provide the lea
st for professional performances with it’s bear earth nature.
‘The field has pot holes in the middle dugged by runoff. Especially when it rains, players get injuries in cause of exchanges. I think the mini-stadiums will improve on local football.’
