Soccer Fans In Sunyani Resort To Communal Labour To Build A New Dressing Room At The Sunyani Coronation Park

Soccer fans in the Bono Regional capital, Sunyani, have resorted to communal labour to build a new Dressing room, as required by the Club Licensing Board of the Ghana Football Association.

Mr. Ranford Antwi, a Sunyani-based businessman, who is also a spearheader of the move to renovate the Sunyani Coronation Park, has disclosed that the people decided to take matters into their own hands, two weeks since the visit of the Director General of the National Sports Authority had yielded almost nothing, as far as renovation works at the Sunyani Coronation Park are concerned.

According to Mr. Antwi, although Prof. Twumasi, the Sports Authority Boss, promised to bring Frank Boahen of the Green Grass Technology to work on the pitch and also to convince the Club Licensing Board to approve the Sunyani Coronation Park ahead of the new Premier League season, nothing has been heard so far, something which has compelled the people to be proactive and thereby taking matters into their own hands to build a new dressing room at the Sunyani Coronation Park.

”We do not want to suffer the fate of Kotoku Royals, who had to play home games away from home and subsequently went into relegation,” he said.

He is therefore calling on individuals and organisations to come to their aid to enable them to get the Sunyani Coronation Park ready for approval. He praised the soccer fans for their communal spirit and told them history would be kind to them.

In another development, Hon. Tuah Yeboah Alfred, Deputy Attorney General and Minister of Justice, has pledged 20,000( twenty thousand Ghana Cedis) towards the project. Others like Lawyer Kwabena Yeboah Asiamah, Seid Mubarak, Mrs. Vera Osei Kwakye of Ericose Ent, among others, have all contributed cement towards the project.
