The Lodge

is considered as a team building solution when

players stay together past their regulated time in training or on match days. this can be in the form of team dinners, etc.

Another

form of building team chemistry is to stay

together on the night before the match days and on the next day, travel together to the stadium and prepare for the upcoming match.

The lodge serves this purpose.

A G+1 structure with the same unit plan, The lodge is designed for a squad of 23 players, 10 staff members and more, up to a total of 56 individuals.

Indoor Training Pitch The indoor training pitch is a separate facility provided on the site which has full sized artificial turf. it has glass facades on the eastern and western sides and also has a semi-transparent skylight almost the size of the roof of the structure in order to allow as much daylight as possible inside.

The

structure has multiple purposes like, for instance

private training sessions between the coaches and players if the need be, a covered training ground in cas the outdor grass pitches are not up to the required quality or if there is a case of bad weather and it can also be used for media and press training shoots and for invited visitors to observe the training sessions that are carried out.
