South Sudan Football Federation (SSFF) President Francis Amin Michael led a delegation on Wednesday to inspect ongoing site clearance and leveling works for the country’s proposed National Technical Centre in the Nesitu area of Lokiliri Payam, Juba County.
Amin was joined by SSFF First Vice President Makur Majok, members of the federation’s Board of Directors, SSFF Secretary General, the Executive Director of Lokiliri Payam, the lead project engineer, as well as local chiefs and community elders. The field visit allowed the leadership team to directly evaluate initial earthworks, bush clearing, and grading at the plot before heavy construction begins.
Focus on FIFA Compliance and Local Impact
Speaking during the inspection, Amin announced that the project will be officially launched in the coming period once all regulatory standards and strict infrastructure requirements set by world football’s governing body, FIFA, are met.
