The Barbados Football Association’s (BFA) Wildey AstroTurf will have a new look come next year.

With work set to begin on the facility this week, footballers will be in new conditions, with their own lights and brand-new bleachers at the opening of the 2018 season, scheduled to kick off on January 7.

BFA’s general secretary Edwyn Wood made the confirmation in an interview with MIDWEEK NATION yesterday.

“We received the necessary funding from FIFA [world governing body], and payment has been made to the contractor for the start of the project,” he explained. (RA)
