The Mindanao Civic Center (MCC) football pitch in Lanao del Norte province has been updated to satisfy the Federation Internationale de Football Association's (FIFA) exacting international standards.
It is a noteworthy accomplishment for the province, opening the door for the growth of regional sports talent, increasing tourism, and stimulating the economy.
Propelling Lanao to sports’ elite
E-Sports International erected the recently renovated pitch at the MCC football field in Tubod.
It has a cutting-edge surface that has won FIFA's praise for its improved safety features and outstanding performance.
The Limonta DUO Shape 45 mm + 45 SBR Flexidrain system, one of the improved field's key characteristics, guarantees quick water drainage, preserving ideal playing conditions even during intense downpours.
"This accomplishment underscores our vision to propel Lanao del Norte into the spotlight by equipping our province with world-class, internationally certified facilities capable of hosting both local and international sporting events," Governor Imelda Dimaporo said.
Importance of FIFA fields
FIFA fields play a crucial role in the development of grassroots football by providing safe, high-quality facilities in communities that often lack proper infrastructure.
These pitches enable regular training, reduce injury risks, and support the growth of local talent. They also serve as community hubs, promoting inclusion, gender equality, and youth engagement through sport.
