UAFC mini stadium

UAFC mini stadium with artificial turf was inaugurated on the eve of Blessed Rainy day. The ceremony was graced by the Proprietor, Honourable Yab Dasho Ugyen Dorji. The turf was installed on AFC funding and it has two standard size futsal pitches. With extra turf at the center, it can be used for nine sided football field too.

Indeed a brainchild,  the mini stadium is seen to be of utmost importance not only to UA family but also for the general public. The turf is going to witness a lot of matches in the near future.

Football, as a sport, in Bhutan is still at a fetal stage requiring much nurturing and with the installation of the new artificial pitch, development is augmented to a new level. While the good old days of playing futsal in the streets might have been fun, but there is more to futsal than just fun. The future prospect of introducing it as a formal sport like any other, on a national or even International level, still exists. Not only that, players can further hone their skills in this small pitch as the stadium  also has night lighting facilities. Hence the establishment of the UAFC mini stadium is indeed seen to be a boon to Ugyen Academy, and more importantly, to the mass at large.
