The 3000-seat Synthetic Track and Field Facility in Leonora, Guyana is a multi-sport facility that is used by soccer club Slingerz FC as their home stadium.[1] It is also used to host youth sports events. In 2018, it hosted six matches of the 2018 CONCACAF Women's Championship qualification, three featuring Guyana and three featuring other teams.

Construction

Costing approximately 1.084 billion dollars (Guyanese), the facility officially began construction in December 2010 and was split into two phases. Phase one consisted of drain and irrigation works and the main access road, whilst Phase two consisted of making the actual track and other sports fields.[2]

Opening

Early on, the facility was scheduled to be opened on March 27, but was postponed to a later date.[3]
