President Muizzu Announces Removal of Shops from Galolhu Ground, Widening of Majeedhee Magu

President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has announced that shops located beneath the Galolhu football ground will be removed, the coconut trees on the ground will be completely cleared, a new pitch will be laid, and Majeedhee Magu will be widened. Speaking at a press conference held at the President's Office, the President said that after removing the shops as part of efforts for the development of sports, it has been decided to widen the road. The President further stated that after clearing all the coconut trees, a new pitch will be installed and the area will be developed into a space for football, other sports, and recreational activities. Currently, almost all tournaments in the country are held at the Galolhu ground, but its condition has deteriorated due to poor drainage. Although some repairs have been made, key maintenance issues remain, including crowded playing areas and closed sections. Players have also complained about the difficulty of playing due to unmaintained coconut trees. Additionally, supporters face a lack of suitable parking, which causes traffic congestion during matches.
