Madam Isha Johansen, the Sierra Leone Football Association President has on the 22nd May 2021 at a press conference held at the Bintumani Hall, Aberdeen Freetown, officially announced four (4) new FIFA Approved Artificial Turf Projects to be carried out across the country simultaneously.
The 4 venues to be given a face lift under the said projects are; SLFA Academy (Kingtom), Approved School (Western Area), Lungi Central Field and the Coronation Field (Bo).
The FIFA Council Member further announced the decision of the SLFA Executive Committee to transform the Port Loko Town Field into a state of the art (26,000 capacity) playing facility which will eventually be the country’s Football Federation Stadium.
Additionally, maintenance work has also been approved to soon commence at the Kono Artificial turf pitch as the installation of floodlights and construction of the outside perimeter fence at the Kenema Town Field are underway.
