Drone footage from Marcin Jedrysiak shows the developed sports complex and people playing football during the day. The new football hub in Cosham opened in January of this year.
Portsmouth City Council, in partnership with the Football Foundation, developed the site - which is being used by the Hampshire FA on lease until 2039. The site was developed after a shortage of artificial grass pitches (AGP).
