The Club Licensing Department has revealed that Dreams FC’s home ground, the Tuba Astro Turf Safe Zone, boasts an impressive design inspired by the iconic Old Trafford Stadium.
This follows the Club Licensing Department’s inspection, which forms part of the road map for the resumption of the Ghana Premier League (GPL).
This inspection is also part of the Ghana Football Association’s (GFA) Stadium Directives, and the Infrastructure Criteria enshrined in the Enhanced Safety and Security Protocols 2025.
Amidst the announcement, some clubs and fans have voiced their displeasure, arguing that if the Tuba Astro Turf met the required standards, then other notable venues, such as the University of Ghana Stadium and the Baba Yara Stadium, should have also been approved.
However, Mr. Michael Bonsu, a member of the Club Licensing Department, while in an interview with Kessben TV, clarified the criteria used in approving the Tuba Astro Turf, revealing that the stadium has one of the safest zones, linking it to Manchester United’s Old Trafford.
“Tuba’s safe zone is one of the best safe zones we have around. From the safe zone, you go straight into the dressing room. From the touch line to the substitute bench is like Old Trafford; the substitute bench is inside the spectators,” he revealed.
Meanwhile, the GPL is set to return on March 7, 2025, after a temporary break following the death of Francis Frimpong, also known as Pooley.
