The new Cyanide Astroturf park has been inaugurated at Tarkwa, in the Western Region, Ghana. This follows part of the vision to expand sports infrastructure in the Tarkwa-Nsuaem municipality.
The Coastal Development Authority (CODA) provided the funding for the modern pitch and auxiliary facilities. The projects were proposed by the Member of Parliament for Tarkwa-Nsuaem, Mr. George Mireku Duker.
Cyanide Astroturf intends to improve the number of young people in the municipality who participate in sports. Additionally, it aims to discover fresh talent and develop rising stars for the national and continental stages.
In his speech, Mr. Duker, who is also a deputy minister of lands and natural resources, thanked God for bringing Tarkwa-Nsuaem’s dream of improving and decentralizing soccer to fruition.
