Artificial turf laying commences at Guyana National Training Centre

Laying of the artificial turf at the Guyana Football Federation’s (GFF’s) National Training Centre at Providence, East Bank Demerara has commenced. This signals the start of a delicate process that would, in the not-too-distant future, see football being played at the facility.
The process commenced last Friday, and is expected to be completed by December 15, 2018. Grass is being laid by local contractor Nabi Construction Inc. under the supervision of international contractor Greenfields.
This, the nation’s first state-of-the-art football facility, will be the focal point for football activities at all levels of the game. It will play a pivotal role in elevating the standard of Guyana’s football, as it caters for football development among the males and females.
The venue will be equipped with amenities to encourage greater female participation in football, and will house the headquarters of the GFF. Other aspects of the facility include dormitories, kitchen services, a gym and a pool.
In an invited comment, GFF President Wayne Forde said he is pleased with the way work is progressing at the facility.
“The weather has been good, and work is progressing very well. The transfer of knowledge that is taking place during this phase of the project will be invaluable as we embark on the construction of similar fields in each of our nine (9) Regional Member Associations (RMAs), over the next three years.”
The vision of the GFF is for nine all-weather facilities to be constructed in each of the nine RMAs.
According to the GreenField website, the company is a “specialist in the development, production, installation and maintenance of synthetic sports turf systems.”
