Sports pitch experts, Green Grass Technology (GGT), last Saturday, handed over a newly constructed training grounds to Accra Hearts of Oak football club at Kpobiman, in the Greater Accra Region.
The 100,000 dollar training grounds, which started last year
through funding from Osam Petroleum, will now serve as the permanent
training grounds for the club, after years of shuttling between
national Lotteries Park, University of Ghana and the Accra Technical
Training Centre (ATTC).
Mr Frank Boahene, Chief Executive of GGT, who handed over the
pitch to the Board of Directors of the club at a ceremony at Kpobiman,
described the pitch as a quality one that meets international
standards, a hallmark of his outfit.
He said the new training pitch meets the required international
standards because it was constructed with modern pitch construction
technologies.
According to Boahene, the club will however need to undertake
regular maintenance to ensure that the pitch remains in the best of
shapes.
Mr Emmanuel M. Commodore-Mensah, Chairman of the Board of
Directors of the Club, said the club has come a long way in acquiring
its own training grounds and described it a step towards achieving
greater heights.
He said this will bring an end to their long search for a
permanent training ground and improve the performance of the playing
body.
Commodore-Mensah stated that, plans are in place to construct
another training pitch on the vast land, which was acquired by the
club about ten years ago.
