Victorias City is making  history again as the first 11-aside Football Pitch equipped with synthetic turf in the Western Visayas Region will soon rise at the  Victorias National High School.  

Victorias Mayor Javier Miguel Benitez led the groundbreaking ceremony for the project together with Rep. Erwin Tulfo (ACT-CIS Party List), Rep. Jose Francisco “Kiko” Benitez (Neg. Occ., 3rd District), and Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Portia Mallorca on Saturday,  April 27.

The  football pitch will be the first-ever 11-a-side synthetic turf in the region, Benitez said in his speech. 

Benitez said  he aspires to make Victorias City a sports tourism hub in  Negros Occidental.  

The  11-a-side football pitch will not only enhance the training and competition experience for student-athletes but will augment a bright future for the local sports industry, a press release from Victorias said. 

Representatives of the Negros Occidental Regional Football Association led by its  president Jose Miguel Valmayor, the  Victorias City Schools Division Office, local football associations, and VNHS faculty and students  joined the  groundbreaking ceremony. 

The football pitch is set to be completed after five months.*
