Engen Petroleum upgrade decaying Sports Ground in South Africa

Petroleum giant, Engen, has renovated the decaying Altrek Sports Ground in Eastbank, Alexandra, as part of its programme of Building Meaningful Bonds with various communities in the country.

The mammoth task was undertaken in partnership with SuperSport United, a premiership side that is sponsored by Engen.

As part of an inventive advertising deal, the company said a portion of its outdoor spend totalling R1.7-million would be used to upgrade soccer facilities in Johannesburg, Durban and Port Elizabeth.

The other four community sports fields to receive upgrades included Dobsonville Sports Hub in Soweto, the Diepsloot Sports Hub, the Chatsworth Sports Hub in Durban, and the Walmer Sports Hub in Port Elizabeth.
