Tom Strand Slam Poor Accra Sports Stadium Pitch.

Medeama SC boss Tom Strand had mixed feelings after his side’s victory over AshGold in the FA Super Cup at the Accra sports stadium on Sunday. 

The Swede slammed the poor state of the pitch and warned that Ghana will continue to fail against the elite sides in the continent should they not develop their infrastructure.

The state of the pitch made it difficult for players to control the ball, and was unhappy with the condition despite the win.

“The pitch was bad and made a difficult game more difficult. I was asking my captain [Muntari Tagoe] about the pitch and he said the pitch was bumping and it was difficult to control the ball. When I seat behind by DSTV somewhere in Tarkwa and watching some leagues, the play go faster,” The MTN FA Cup winner told the press after the game.

“So if Ghana want to compete with the other countries they have to work on the infrastructure.” He added.

The Black Stars made clear their happiness about the condition of the pitch last when they weren’t preparing to host Comoros.

But it seems their cry fell on death ears and Tom Strand comments serves as a reminder that maintenance of of the little structures available will be key to the success of Ghana local football.
