Atteridgeville stadium reaches out to football clubs
With the new PSL season set to begin next, Moya says that residents can expect Masterpiece’s stadium to host their favourite teams for training and fixtures.
The Lucas “Masterpieces” Moripe Stadium in Atteridgeville hopes to attract partnerships with professional football teams ahead of the upcoming season.
Tshwane Deputy Mayor, Dr Nasiphi Moya conducted a site visit to the stadium on June 1 and said that even though touch-ups are still needed, the stadium is ready to host the biggest games and teams in the country.
“One of the main issues at the facility was non-functional flood lights. These lights are crucial to ensuring that the stadium is well-lit for use at night and during cloudy weather days. I was pleased to see that the floodlights were repaired and ready to help ensure that tournaments are not disrupted by a lack of visibility,” Moya said.
