North Bank Sports Face Stadium Struggles.

The Farafenni mini-stadium could become the country's second-biggest sports ground. But right now, it sits empty without grass, lights, water, or bathrooms.

The track meant for runners is the only one besides Independence Stadium. It needs fixing and better care. Many people who love sports felt hope when they heard plans to fix up the stadium, but those plans never came true.

The poor state of the grounds forces local teams into hard choices. EsSau United FC and Young Icons FC must travel far across the Senegambia Bridge. They play their home games in Jara Soma. This costs them time and money. Their fans find it hard to come to watch them play.

The North Bank area is brimful of young sports talent. These gifted players have nowhere good to practice or compete, making life harder for coaches and sports leaders trying to help them grow.

The region showed its strength at the recent National Youth Conference and Festival. Thanks to Governor Lamin Saidykhan, Abou Khan from the NBRFA, and their teams' hard work, they won many events.

The people of North Bank want action, not more promises. They hope 2025 brings real change from the Ministry of Sports and the GFF. They dream of seeing work begin on their stadium at last. They have waited long enough.
