EC$17 Million for Community Sports Upgrades

Cabinet has agreed to allocate EC$17 million towards upgrading community sporting complexes across Antigua and Barbuda. The funding will be included in the Government’s 2027 Budget Estimates.

The programme is intended to improve the condition of community sports facilities and provide better spaces for training, competitions and recreational activities. The upgrades are expected to benefit athletes, schools, sporting organisations and residents, while creating more opportunities for young people to participate in sports.

Prime Minister Gaston Browne said the allocation would provide EC$1 million for each constituency. Planned improvements may include repairs to deteriorating facilities, expansions and the addition of sporting courts where needed. A detailed list of projects and construction timeline have not yet been announced.

The investment will complement the Harrison Potters Sports Centre, which is being developed as a major sporting and community facility. Cabinet also recognised Sir David Harrison for his contribution towards the construction of the Potters complex.
