Accordingly, it has been decided to provide Rs. 1 million each for the modernization of each stadium in the province and the Government wishes to gain the assistance of the youth clubs in the area for the renovation of those stadiums.

Mr. Willie Gamage has already allocated Necessary funds for this purpose and the Minister has instructed the Governor to seek the assistance of the relevant Pradeshiya Sabha or Urban Council for any technical assistance necessary for the renovations if required.

Through this project, the Minister hopes to make a contribution to the wellbeing of athletes as well as youth and adults in the Southern Province.
