Black Stars coach Otto Addo was seen inspecting the condition of the pitch at the Accra Sports Stadium ahead of their upcoming match against Sudan on Thursday, October 10, 2024.
The national team began training on Monday, October 7, and during the session, Otto Addo took time to examine the pitch to ensure its suitability for the game.
In a video circulating online, Addo is seen testing the pitch with his foot before using his hand to further assess its quality.
The condition of the stadium’s pitch has been a topic of concern, especially after the Confederation of African Football (CAF) banned Ghana from hosting matches due to the country’s sporting facilities not meeting CAF’s standards.
In response, the Ministry of Youth and Sports, along with the National Sports Authority, worked swiftly to improve the stadium’s conditions.
As a result, CAF has given conditional approval for the Accra Sports Stadium to host the match on October 10.
The Black Stars commenced their training with eleven players present for the session.
