When asked about the debris lying at the entrance of the stadium and its impact on the visual aspect of the satadium, Zubairi clarified by stating: “As far as the front view of the stadium is concerned, it is a bit messy at the moment but we will clean that up in order to keep the stadium in line with its visual impact.”
