Final preparations are underway for the reopening of the 28 September Stadium in Guinean capital Conakry, amid intensive efforts to obtain official accreditation from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA).
In this context, Kervala Camara, CEO of the Goicopress Group, made a surprise field visit to the project site to monitor the progress of the rehabilitation work and to ensure that the required technical observations were implemented before the official handover of the stadium.
The new Conakry stadium was inaugurated in the Guinean capital, Conakry.
The "28 September" stadium is close to continental accreditation after implementing the recommendations of CAF and FIFA.
On Thursday, Mr. Kerfalla Camara KPC, CEO of the Goicopress Group, made a surprise visit to the site of the rehabilitation works of the September 28 Stadium in the Guinean capital, Conakry, as the project's handover date approaches, accompanied by a number of senior officials from the Group and its subsidiary, Goicopress BTP.

The visit aimed to ensure the effective implementation of the recommendations issued by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and FIFA within the framework of the stadium rehabilitation project.
After an inspection tour that included the various facilities of the stadium, the CEO expressed his satisfaction with the implementation of most of the required recommendations, while the remaining points mainly relate to the evacuation route at the gate facing the town of Dixen, in addition to the access corridor for team buses to the changing rooms, where some physical obstacles still prevent the completion of the paving and asphalting work.
The group confirmed that completing the removal of these obstacles will allow the remaining work to be finished quickly, which will enhance the stadium's chances of obtaining accreditation during the next inspection process.
