Football Pitch Inspected Ahead of Batang Pinoy 2026
BACOLOD - As Batang Pinoy 2026 draws closer, Mayor Greg Gasataya, together with City Administrator Atty. Mark Steven Mayo and PESO Manager Jovelyn Canoy, conducted an inspection of the ongoing football pitch construction at Bacolod City National High School (BCNHS). The inspection provided an opportunity to check the progress of the facility as preparations continue for the upcoming sporting event. The football pitch is being developed as part of the city's sports facilities and is expected to provide athletes with a dedicated venue for football activities.
Artificial Grass and LED Lighting Near Completion
The installation of the artificial grass is nearing completion, with the playing surface being implemented according to the stated FIFA standards. Alongside the field improvements, work is also progressing on the lighting system. Three of the six lighting towers have already been fitted with LED lights, while installation work continues on the remaining towers. The combination of the playing surface and lighting system is intended to provide suitable conditions for football activities, including events that may take place beyond daytime hours.
A Facility for Future Football Events in Bacolod
The football pitch is being developed with attention to its dimensions, lighting brightness, and artificial grass quality based on the stated FIFA standards. These features are intended to allow the facility to support Batang Pinoy 2026 as well as other football events that may be held in Bacolod City in the future. With the project nearing completion, the BCNHS football pitch adds another sports venue to the city that can accommodate athletes and football activities while supporting Bacolod's growing calendar of sporting events.
