“We’ve already got the contrac­tors working on the site.

“The finish of the first phase which was the pavilion is expected to be completed within a month from now.

“We are now working in parallel to the second phase, that’s the ground and the entire things, including lights, boundary and fence.”

Amin added that he would reveal more on the time once they move on to the second phase of the pro­ject.

“We are anticipating, everything to fall in place and we should be able to host a tournament from next year,” he added.
