The complex will also feature dedicated facilities for athletes, referees, medical and anti-doping personnel, administrative offices, community spaces, and a café overlooking the pitch. The surrounding site will include 158 car parking spaces, parking for four buses, 22 bicycle spaces, pedestrian and cycle paths, and modern engineering infrastructure.
