Super Eagles handler Stephen Keshi, has condemned the quality of the recently refurbished pitch of the National Stadium in Abuja.
The coach says he is not impressed with the state of the pitch, on which 18 players trained on Tuesday evening and described it as “dangerous”.
“From what I saw it is a sandy pitch, and it is hard,” Keshi said
“It will be very difficult for the players to play on it, especially the goalkeepers because it is sharp sand.”
Keshi also stated that the pitch was likely to be water-logged if it rains.
A budget of over N96million was used for the refurbishment of the pitch and it was also recently criticized by Godfrey Gaiya, the chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Sports.
