The governor of Bas-Uélé, Mike-David Mokeni Amisi, launched the construction of a modern stadium in Buta on October 5. The ceremony took place at the CELPA site in the Fina commune. The project, funded by the province's own resources, aims to provide Buta with a sports infrastructure, particularly for football competitions. This development comes after the announcement of the acquisition of a synthetic lawn for the future stadium.
The launch of the construction project follows the governor's inspection of the site in January, where he instructed the relevant services to take necessary measures for the project's realization. The construction of the stadium is significant for the Bas-Uélé province, especially for the AS Étoile du Congo football club, which recently gained access to the Ligue 1 of Linafoot.
The AS Étoile du Congo football club, which is based in Buta, will play its home games at the Patrice-Emery Lumumba stadium in Kisangani, as its home stadium is not yet homologated. The completion and homologation of the new stadium in Buta could allow the club to host its opponents in its own city. The club's progression to the elite national league has highlighted the need for a modern sports infrastructure in the province.
The construction project has been welcomed by local football fans, who see it as a significant development for the sport in the region. The governor's initiative to invest in sports infrastructure is expected to boost the growth of football in Bas-Uélé. The acquisition of a synthetic lawn for the stadium is a key component of the project, which aims to provide a modern and well-equipped sports facility.
While the launch of the construction project marks a significant milestone, the exact timeline for its completion and the technical specifications of the stadium have not been made public. The provincial authorities have announced that the project will be executed according to modern standards, and the stadium will be equipped with a synthetic lawn.
The construction of the modern stadium in Buta is a major project for the Bas-Uélé province, which aims to develop its sports infrastructure to support the growth of football in the region. The project is expected to have a positive impact on the local community, providing a modern sports facility for football and other events.
The project will be closely monitored by the provincial authorities, who will ensure that the construction work is completed on time and to the required standards. Once completed, the stadium will be homologated by the relevant sports authorities, paving the way for its use for national competitions.
