Board Chairman of Accra Hears of Oak, Togbe Afedi XIV has finally calmed the nerves of supporters of the club by revealing that construction works will begin next week in order for the club’s academy project to take off after sealing a contractual agreement with Prefabex in August last year.
In an interview with GTV Sports+, the bankroller said, “All the financial arrangements have been finalized with GT bank and my company on this project, and the work is set to begin next week after finalizing documents on funding.
Speaking extensively on the project, Togbe Afede noted that all is set for the project to commence and that he hopes to make Hearts of Oak an elite club for others to emulate.
He said, “We want to make Hearts of Oak a reference point in Africa in terms of what an elite club should look like. We have laid down many things we want to do.
We want to build something akin to governance system, backed by administrative structures, procedures, etc that will propel us to to prominence and I can say we are on course to achieving it.
The job will be done by a local contractor with Turkish supervision. The foundation will start next week. It will take two and half years to complete and I can say we are very much on course.”
The ultra modern training complex will consist of staff residence, gym, training centres (pitches), laundry, swimming pool, lockers, toilet facilities, kitchen and a dinning hall.
