In a significant move to bolster sports infrastructure, the Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda has granted a waiver on electricity and water charges for the Antigua and Barbuda Football Association (ABFA) Technical Center in Paynters, St. George. The decision, championed by Sports Minister Daryll Matthew, underscores the government’s recognition of the ABFA as the nation’s official football governing body. The Technical Center, a multi-million-dollar facility, features two FIFA-certified artificial turf fields, modern changing rooms, laundry services, administrative offices, and public amenities. It serves as a pivotal hub for football training, youth development, and competitions, including school tournaments organized in collaboration with the Ministry of Sports. The Cabinet emphasized that this waiver aligns with similar concessions extended to other national sports venues, ensuring equitable treatment. The ongoing waiver highlights the government’s commitment to advancing youth and community development, fostering sporting excellence, and elevating Antigua and Barbuda’s standing in regional and international football. The Cabinet also reaffirmed its dedication to expanding the country’s social and sporting infrastructure, creating more opportunities for young people through sports.
