On Sunday, President Dr. Irfaan Ali received an update on the development of Mackenzie’s new multipurpose international-standard stadium, previously known as the Mackenzie Sports Club Ground.

Key enhancements to the facility include elevating the outfield, installing a pitch that meets international standards, implementing automated watering systems, and installing ICC-approved floodlights.

President Ali was informed during the briefing that the stadium would be completed and ready to host its inaugural match by mid-year.

The venue is set to accommodate nearly 4,000 spectators, featuring two stands and a grassy mound area.

Additionally, the stadium will boast internationally certified lighting that can be operated remotely.

This new stadium will complement the synthetic track recently laid at the Bayroc Community Centre ground in Wismar, marking a significant investment in local sports infrastructure.
