WILLEMSTAD - Excitement filled the air as the renovation of the sports field in Soto officially kicked off with a momentous groundbreaking ceremony. Local officials, community members, and sports enthusiasts gathered yesterday to commemorate the start of this highly anticipated project. With a strong commitment to enhancing sports infrastructure, the government has allocated an additional 4 million towards the development of the multifunctional field in Bándabou.
The sports field renovation holds a special place in the heart of Prime Minister Gilmar Pisas, who has long advocated for improved sports facilities in the region. Even during the tenure of the Pisas I administration, there were plans in place to construct a grand arena in Soto. However, with the change in government, the project was unfortunately shelved, leaving the community eagerly awaiting its revival.
The newly allocated funds will ensure the realization of this long-awaited project, which aims to transform the sports field in Soto into a state-of-the-art facility. The multifunctional field will provide opportunities for various sports activities, catering to the diverse interests of athletes and residents alike. Additionally, it is expected to become a vibrant hub for community events, fostering social cohesion and promoting a healthy lifestyle.
The renovation project will encompass several key aspects, including the upgrading of playing surfaces, installation of modern lighting systems, construction of spectator stands, and the implementation of essential amenities such as changing rooms and storage facilities. These enhancements will not only benefit local sports teams but also attract regional competitions and events, bringing economic and cultural opportunities to the area.
During the groundbreaking ceremony, Prime Minister Pisas expressed his gratitude for the community's patience and support throughout the planning stages. He emphasized the government's commitment to providing modern and inclusive sports infrastructure that will empower athletes and enhance the quality of life in Soto.
