The construction of Barbados’ National Stadium is progressing rapidly, with demolition work now complete and foundational construction in full swing. Project Manager Bo Xu has expressed optimism about the project’s timeline, stating that the team has seamlessly transitioned into critical phases such as excavation, subbase pouring, rebar tying, and concrete foundation work. These efforts lay the groundwork for what will become a state-of-the-art national facility. Xu emphasized the strong collaboration with local contractors, which has been instrumental in maintaining the project’s momentum. Despite facing weather-related challenges, the team has implemented improved drainage systems and reinforced access roads to ensure the project remains on schedule. Once completed, the stadium will meet stringent World Athletics and FIFA standards, support broadcast-ready events, and generate new employment and training opportunities for Barbadians. Xu confidently affirmed that the 2027 deadline will be met, marking a significant milestone for the nation’s infrastructure and sports development.
