A new sporting arena appropriately titled “New Arena” was officially opened in Watnak Village, Sisattanak District last Friday. The arena, constructed by the Mekong Development Sole Co., Ltd., had been under construction since February this year. The opening ceremony for the arena was attended by the Vice Mayor of Vientiane, Mr Saithong Keoduangdy, alongside other important guests. This arena is one of the first private sports complexes in Laos to feature modern equipment and covered fields which will allow players to utilise the facility no matter the weather conditions.
The New Arena Sport Complex features two ‘futsal‘ fields (smaller than regular sized football fields for indoor play) surfaced with Astroturf. There are also two swimming pools at the complex, one for adults and one for children as well as a restaurant with free WiFi internet.
The company’s Managing Director, Mr Nathapol Punchasila, said his company spent 10 billion kip on the current project and in the future the company will open an academy to train junior level footballers in order to give further support to young footballers in Laos. The company also plans to build more sports venues in other districts of Vientiane, including a fitness centre, hoping that the new facilities will help develop sports in Laos.
