Sudan’s assistant coach, Ignatius Osei Fosu, has expressed concerns regarding the condition of the training pitch allocated to his team in preparation for their upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Ghana.
The Sudanese team has been training at the St Thomas Aquinas Senior High School pitch ahead of their match against the Black Stars on Thursday, October 10.
Coach Osei Fosu has highlighted that the subpar training conditions could potentially impact their strategic preparations and overall performance against Ghana.
“Preparations have not been bad but our only problem has been with the training pitch.
“It’s not been the best but we’ll take it like that. We’ve not trained at the Accra Stadium yet, but what we were given at the St Aquinas is not good.
“If the pitch at Accra is anything close to what was given us at St Aquinas, then we are going to see some awful football,” he said.
The game against Ghana is scheduled for Thursday, October 10 at the Accra Sports Stadium. Sudan currently sit in second place in Group F of the qualifiers, trailing leaders Angola by 3 points and leading both Ghana and Niger with 2 points.
