The new Govind Park in Ba will be ready in seven months’ time.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony in the last hour, Minister for Local government Parveen Bala says the new grandstand will have bucket seats with 8,000 seating capacity.
The seating capacity in the old grandstand was 5,000.
Bala says the project will include a medical room, referees room, canteen and a conference room with 200 seating capacity.
Ba’s Govind Park sustained major damages during Tropical Cyclone Winston in 2016.
The cost of the Govind Park construction project is $4.12 million.
