Kapor laments about Ghanaian pitches

Published

Hearts head coach Nebojša Kapor has lamented the infrastructure problems in Ghanaian football.

Hearts of Oak secured a crucial 1-0 win over Port City FC at the University of Ghana Stadium on Sunday, ending a three-match winless run in the Ghana Premier League.

Frank Duku’s 20th-minute goal was enough to separate the sides and hand the Phobians three points against the newly promoted outfit.

Despite the win, head coach Nebojša Kapor was left frustrated about the poor state of the Legon pitch.

“This is not our stadium; it’s a national stadium. Ghana football has serious problems with proper pitches,” Kapor said after the match.

The Serbian tactician’s remarks reflect growing frustration among coaches over the quality of playing surfaces across the league.

The Phobias have adopted the University of Ghana as their temporary home venue for the Ghana Premier League.

Hearts of Oak will play Vision FC in the next league game away from home.
