Works recently carried out were inaugurated at the Oratory Don Bosco, in Victoria Gozo, where extensive works included the installation of artificial turf and the refurbishment of the football ground and nearby areas. Bishop of Gozo Mgr Mario Grech concelebrated mass to mark the occasion on Sunday, followed by a ceremony during which Gozo Minister Giovanna Debono inaugurated the new football ground.

A financial donation by the ministry was instrumental in the transformation of this ground and related areas. The new facilities include a 7-a-side football pitch which incorporates two 5-a-side pitches. The sanitary facilities together with the dressing rooms were completely refurbished and new lights were installed, providing a secure and modern sport environment within this centre which is frequented by several Gozitan youths and families.

The Don Bosco Oratory initiated its service to youths in Gozo in 1949, and today it offers an educational and recreational environment to Gozitan children, youths and families who attend the numerous social and religious activities organised regularly
