Ghana's National Sports Authority will acquire protective covers for major stadium pitches across the country. Director General Yaw Ampofo Ankrah confirmed these procurement plans during recent media discussions. Multiple national venues have faced temporary closures after officials declared playing surfaces unfit for matches. Poor maintenance standards and absent protective equipment caused these facility shutdowns over recent months. Stadium management acknowledges past oversights contributed to current problems but promises swift action.
The acquisition program targets five key facilities nationwide. Accra Sports Stadium, Baba Yara Stadium, Cape Coast Stadium, Aliu Mahama Stadium, and Essipong Sports Stadium will receive new covers. These protective measures aim to prevent future pitch deterioration and maintain playing surface quality. Officials hope the initiative will eliminate recurring maintenance issues that have plagued Ghana's sporting infrastructure. The covers should restore these venues to acceptable competition standards.
