The new Sports City of Antigua, the first Island facility to have the endorsement of the Higher Sports Council
The president of the Cabildo de Fuerteventura, Sergio Lloret, has made today, Wednesday January 11, the first official visit to the works for the construction of the new Sports City of Antigua, carried out together with the vice president, Juan Nicolás Cabrera, to Juan Cabrera, Councilor for Works of the Antigua City Council, among other municipal councilors, and the opposition counselor, María Jesús de la Cruz, in addition to the assistance of the technical and construction management personnel for the works.
Awarded for more than 5 million euros, the actions to be carried out for the start-up of the new high-performance sports facility will involve about 18 months of intervention from its start-up today, with the signing of the reconsideration act, and the development of works in more than 21 thousand square meters of surface.
Thus, in the words of Sergio Lloret, "one of the most important works that we currently have underway in Fuerteventura and the most important in sports matters" will be erected.
Launched through the Insular Plan for Cooperation in Municipal Works and Services (PICOS), the infrastructure to be developed has been the first on the island endorsed by the Higher Sports Council (CSD), which has contributed to the financing of the work with the contribution of three million euros of capital. A contribution that, highlighted the Insular councilor, will allow the Cabildo "to have three million more to allocate to different municipal works through PICOS."
This is how the works of a file started in 2017 that has required a price update for the completion of its execution and that will require several months of earthworks, since the current athletics tracks and soccer field are located on a old dump that caused deficiencies in the stability of the soil.
In addition to a reduction in the ground level of up to five meters deep, the intervention will require the demolition of the building annexed to the current athletics track, as well as the existing exterior perimeter enclosures that are in poor condition, to then proceed to raise the new structure from reconstructed foundations.
Next to the new building that will house the sports support facilities, the new athletics track and an 11-a-side Football and 8-a-side Football field will be laid out, with artificial turf, with the approval of their corresponding federations. This will begin the formation of a complete sports complex that is expected to house swimming pools, a wrestling field and other facilities typical of a Sports City destined to become an island benchmark.
The reform also includes the construction of new changing rooms for the referees, the expansion of the team changing rooms and the expansion of the toilets for the public, in addition to including new bleacher areas adapted for people with reduced mobility, thus improving the accessibility of the venue. .
President Lloret wanted to thank the "coordinated work and the effort made to contract the works by the services of the Insular Corporation, which have made it possible to finalize the contracting of this very important sports infrastructure for the island".
"According to the president of the Cabildo, one more sign that the Insular Institution continues to sail at full speed and with a higher cruising speed than ever," he highlighted.
