FIFA development officer, Sampon Kablan, has given a one month ultimatum to the contractor of the Gambia’s first-ever artificial turf to complete the final work at the ground.

ITA Green, a German company, has been tasked to complete work at the Box Bar turf in the next 30 days.

The FIFA inspector, however, fell short of mentioning what penalty the contractor would face, should it fail to complete the work before the period.

The artificial turf, which is a man-made surface manufactured from synthetic materials and made to look like natural grass is part of FIFA-sponsored projects to affiliated national associations in their bid to develop the game.

Among things that the FIFA inspector wants see at the Gambia’s ground in the next one month, are the maintenance equipment for the proper upkeep of the ground, a well-laid slap between the pitch and the fence and a specified number of seats for each of the two match benches.

Apart from these, the FIFA inspector expressed satisfaction over the way the turf is being laid.
