The head coach of the Black Stars, Otto Addo, has underscored the critical need for high-quality football facilities to enhance his team’s performance.
During a press conference on Thursday, 29th August, the Ghanaian coach expressed concerns about the current state of the pitch at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
Addo highlighted that a well-maintained pitch is essential for his players to perform at their optimum level.
"It is worrying because, to play the way we intend, a good pitch is necessary. Discussions are ongoing about how we can improve the situation. We want our players to excel, which means we must ensure the pitch is in the best possible condition," he remarked.
The coach also called for the development of more football facilities across the country.
"In the long term, we need to improve our facilities and increase opportunities for play. We need more stadia in various parts of the country to see an improvement in the quality of football," Addo added.
Ghana is set to face Angola on 5th September and Niger on 9th September as part of the qualifiers for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
