The Barbados Football Association (BFA) is hoping to make some important infrastructure adjustments ahead of a full restart of activity.
While the artificial surface at Wildey has not been significantly impacted by the recent ash fall caused by the eruption of the La Soufriere volcano in neighbouring St Vincent and the Grenadines, president Randy Harris told Weekend Sport the association was keen on replacing the surface by the end of this year.
The present field was installed in February, 2012 in the second phase of FIFA’s Goal Project under the presidency of Ronald Jones, a former Government minister.
While surfaces of this nature can be functional for up to 20 years, FIFA has certain requirements of artificial fields, especially those which host official matches, and those requirements understandably wane over time, especially if the field is used often. (NM)
