Hearts of Oak coach Kapor raises alarm over poor pitches in Ghana football

Hearts of Oak's head coach Nebojša Kapor has expressed concern over the inadequate quality of football pitches in Ghana, stating that the issue extends far beyond his own club. Following Hearts of Oak's 1-0 win against Port City in the Ghana Premier League on October 11, Kapor highlighted the importance of improved playing surfaces for the national team and the wider football community.

He emphasized that the University of Ghana Stadium, where the match took place, is not just their home ground but is shared by all Ghanaians. Kapor acknowledged that his team requires improvement but maintained that addressing the state of pitches is a pressing concern for Ghanaian football. The Phobians' victory propelled them to second place, three points behind leaders Medeama, while Port City fell to fourth place after their second loss of the season.

Hearts will next take on Vision FC, while Port City will host Dreams FC in the upcoming Matchday Seven fixtures.
