Brikama Council of Elders, better known as Bulunda has written a letter to the Gambia Football Federation (GFF) informing them of their decision to take over the management of the Box Bar Mini Stadium from the Brikama Sports Committee.
According to the letter received by The Gambia Football Federation (GFF), the decision to take over the management of the town’s Mini Stadium from the sports committee is a unified decision following their discontent and disapproval of the day-to-day management of the field by the Brikama Sports Committee.
The Council of Elders of Brikama alleged that there is a lack of transparency in the management of the field from financial to operational matters.
The letter says that such practices have put the community in darkness.
”Resulted in us being completely disconnected from it for several decades”, said the council of elders of Brikama.
The letter went further to state that the Brikama Community is not benefiting any financial gains from the proceeds which are acquired from the usage of the field.
The Brikama Town governing council promised to appoint a body that will steer the day-to-day management of the Brikama Mini Stadium.
