Team manager Eugene Loo of the Singapore Football Association has expressed satisfaction over the conditions of the official playing venues for men's football during the 23rd Southeast Asian Games, Eric Loretizo, secretary-general of the Bacolod SEAG Organizing Committee, said yesterday.
Men's football, the centerpiece event of the biennial meet, will be hosted at the Paglaum Sports Complex and the Panaad Park and Stadium in Bacolod City from Nov. 20 to Dec. 5.
