Mr Yawuza Dubie, the manager of Soccer Babies Football Club, a second division side, has appealed for urgent support towards the construction of dressing rooms at the recently built Tumu astroturf Stadium.
Mr Dubie said the absence of standard dressing rooms led to the rejection of the Tumu facility for the division two middle league as a venue.
He explained that as a result, matches were shifted to Nadowli, depriving the Sissala community of the chance to host competitive football games and denying local teams the home advantage.
Mr Dubie made the appeal during an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Tumu.
He said: “With the new season about to begin, we cannot allow history to repeat itself. Dressing rooms are not just changing spaces; they represent professionalism, safety, and eligibility for competitions,” he stressed.
Mr Dubie called on the Sissala East Municipal Chief Executive to consider using portion of the Social cohesion project to construct the dressing rooms to make the stadium more useful to footballers and soccer fans.
He further appealed to the business community, and benevolent individuals to prioritize and support the construction of befitting dressing rooms for the Tumu sports stadium that recently got an Astroturf facelift.
“This is more than a project; it is an investment in our youth, our community, and the future of Sissala football. The time to act is now,” he said.
The Tumu Astroturf has increased excitement among the youth especially footballers who believe such an addition could make the place meet the full standards required to host competitive football in the region.
Soccer babies was formed in 2014 at Funsi and was later acquired in 2021 by the current owners with its home as Tumu.
