\u00a0The Bortianor Ngleshie Amanfro Constituency has come under the spotlight in recent times due to the huge role it is playing in the promotion and development of football in Ghana.<\/p>\n
Tuba Metro Stars was a popular \u00a0team in the area. Mostly a Moslem community, the area comes alive during match days as residents come together to support the team that kept the area in the media space.<\/p>\n\u2022 The VVIP and VIP stands at the Tuba Astro Turf<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Having failed to reach the pin\u00adnacle of their campaign \u2013 qualifi\u00adcation to the elite stage of football, football activities took a nosedive for some time until the construc\u00adtion of a modern sports facility in the constituency under the leader\u00adship of the Member of Parliament for the area, Mr Sylvester Tetteh.<\/p>\n
What used to be an ordinary park for locals in the Bortianor Ngleshie Amanfro Constituency has witnessed a phase lift and has boost sports in the area to help the youth nurture their talent.<\/p>\n
And for the MP of the area, Mr Sylvester Tetteh, popular referred to as Sly, the project is more for recreation and sports promotion in the area than scoring points for the upcoming general election.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is as a result of my hard work in the constituency for the last three years. It has exposed the constituency to the entire region as people now travel from various dis\u00adtances to our constituency to watch football,\u201d Sly said in an interaction with the media.<\/p>\n
The modern day Astro turf, cited in Tuba, near Kokrobite is one of the major social intervention programmes executed by the MP.<\/p>\n
The 5,000-seater facility now serve as the adopted home ground of Ghana Premier League (GPL) side, Dreams FC, with former GPL side now campaigning in the Division One League (DOL), Accra Great Olympics, the next in line to adopt the facility.<\/p>\n
The FIFA standard Astro turf houses two changing rooms (Home and Away), stands for fans, flood\u00adlights to accommodate late matches, a VVIP Stands and others.<\/p>\n
The MP said in an interview that, \u201cThe Astro turf is one of the many social intervention pro\u00adgrammes my team and I have exe\u00adcuted and l must admit, it is serving the intended purpose of nurturing sporting talents and serving as a recreational centre for the commu\u00adnity to encourage healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been able to touch on our road network; a major challenge that confronts the community, especially during rainy seasons. You will bear with me that Kokrobite has a huge tourism potential taking into account the many beaches dotted along the coast. The recon\u00adstruction of the road, especially the Old Barrier to Kokrobite stretch will boost tourism in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n
