The Council of Elders of Brikama, better known as Bulunda has written a letter to The Gambia Football Federation (GFF) informing them of their decision to take over the management of the Box Bar Mini Stadium from Brikama Sports Committee.

According to the letter received by The Gambia Football Federation (GFF), the decision to take over the management of the town’s Mini Stadium from the sports committee is a unified decision following their discontent and disapproval of the day-to-day management of the field by the Brikama Sports Committee.

The Council of Elders of Brikama alleged that there is a lack of transparency in the management of the field from financial to operational matters.

The letter said that such practices have put the community in darkness and resulted to them being completely disconnected from it for several decades.

The letter went further to state that the Brikama Community is not benefiting from any financial gains from the proceeds which are acquired from the usage of the field.
