It will be available for use for training and matches by both professional, amateur and youth teams, both during the day and night.
"There's a shortage of football pitches in the country hence the need to construct this pitch to meet the growing demand by athletes who have the need to kick a ball for competitive and recreational purposes," said Mukhtar Assaria, the club secretary.
