According to ACP Lydia Donkor, the Ghana Police Service will soon construct
an artificial pitch that will act as the home ground for its ladies' team.
The new pitch will be located in Tesano, Accra at the Police Training and Academy.
ACP Donkor, who chairs the Police Ladies team, believes the facility would offer a huge boost to the women's game.
“As Police Ladies, we’re hoping to develop our pitch at the Police Training and Academy School to get to the AstroTurf status so we can have our games in our own home,” she said.
The service team has a huge park, ACP Donkor believes that developing it will be in their best interest, and will they have their own facility to serve as the home ground for their league matches.
The McDan La Town Park has been adopted by Police Ladies FC as their home ground
for the Women's Premier League which is currently being suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Police Ladies FC was 3rd in the league with 13 points before the league got suspended because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
ACP Donkor, head of the Greater Accra Police Command's legal prosecution, has advised female
team owners and administrators to make sure their players make progress in the game.
”Every female club must ensure they are able to push the women’s football agenda to the next level, it is now clear that football is more of a business than just a game of fun,” she added.
