The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Ahafo Ano South West, Alhaji Abubakar Sedik, has successfully overseen the completion of a modern football field with natural grass in Mankranso, the district capital.
The field, which had been abandoned for several years, was completed within four months of the DCE’s appointment, fulfilling a longstanding demand by residents, especially the youth and sports enthusiasts.

Under the leadership of DCE Sedik, the district assembly prioritized the project, secured funding, and supervised its rapid completion. The new facility features:
Already, local teams and schools are lining up to use the facility for training, tournaments, and inter-school competitions. Community leaders believe the pitch will serve as a talent hub, potentially producing future stars in Ghanaian football.
