THE Ondangwa Town Council will construct the biggest sportsfield in the North to the tune of N$70 million as part of the sports infrastructure development in town.
This first of its kind sports field will be located east of the Andimba Toivo ya Toivo Airport.
Town Chief Executive Officer Ismael Namgongo said the construction will be done over five years.
The tender bid closes Friday and the council will do a week-long evaluation before awarding the tender.
“Once all the procurement process is completed, we will kick off with groundwork,” he said.
Namgongo stated that the council has budgeted N$9.5 million for the earthwork, play turf, running track and fencing.
Work on the sports field is expected to start in July.
Namgongo said this development is to revive sports in the North and the sportsfield is available to all Namibians who want to host games.
