The Sudan Football Association presented a project foreseeing two mini artificial pitches in order to improve the training facilities at the national technical centre that was opened in 2005. These two training pitches will considerably increase the capacity of the centre and will be of great benefit, particularly for the country's youth as well as for futsal players. The Goal Bureau approved the project on 25 June 2006 on the proviso that the necessary land is acquired from the Sudanese government with the yearly maintenance costs coming from the usual FIFA Financial Assistance Programme funding.
