Guinea-Bissau's head coach, Emiliano Té, has dismissed worries about the pitch quality at the September 24 Stadium in Bissau ahead of the Super Eagles' qualifying match for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. The Djurtus will host the Nigerian team in a Group L clash on Tuesday. The pitch has raised concerns due to heavy rainfall in Bissau, causing parts of the playing surface to become saturated.
The Super Eagles trained at the stadium on Monday, allowing them to observe the conditions before the important match. Despite these concerns, Té stated that his team will have to manage the situation as there is no control over pitch quality in Africa. "We are playing in Africa and we know that our pitch is not one of the best, but it is what it is.
It is what we have, and we cannot do anything about it," Té declared during a pre-match press conference. The match is scheduled to start at 5 p.m. Nigerian time.
