Football enthusiasts in Sunyani, the Bono Regional capital, have used communal labour to construct a new changing room at Sunyani Coronation Park, as mandated by the Ghana Football Association’s Club Licencing Board.
After the Director General of the National Sports Authority, Professor Peter Twumasi failed to persuade the Club Licencing Board to approve the park ahead of the 2017 Premier League season, the supporters opted to begin construction on a new changing room at the park two weeks ago.
The fans are committed to having the park ready for approval, according to Ranford Antwi, a Sunyani-based businessman who is driving the effort to refurbish the park.
Prof. Peter Twumasi, the Sports Authority Boss, reneged on his commitment to inviting Frank Boahen of Green Grass Technology to work on the pitch, according to Mr Antwi.
He also said that the Sports Authority Boss was unable to persuade the Club Licencing Board to sanction the Sunyani Coronation Park ahead of the 2019 Premier League season.
A circumstance, he claims, drove the people to be proactive, taking matters into their own hands to construct a new dressing room at Sunyani Coronation Park.
”We do not want to suffer the fate of Kotoku Royals, who had to play home games away from home and subsequently went into relegation,” he said.

As a result, the Sunyani-based businessman is appealing to people and organisations for assistance in preparing the Sunyani Coronation Park for approval.
He congratulated the football supporters for their camaraderie and assured them that history would be kind to them.
Tuah Yeboah Alfred, Deputy Attorney General and Minister of Justice has also given GH 20,000 to the initiative.
Other individuals who have given cement to the project include lawyer Kwabena Yeboah Asiamah, Seid Mubarak, and Mrs Vera Osei Kwakye of Ericose Enterprise, among others.
