Head Coach of Accra Hearts of Oak Nebojša Kapor has expressed deep concerns about the playing pitches in Ghana, indicating that the lack of good playing surfaces remains a major problem for Ghana football.
He made the statement after the Phobians secured a narrow 1-0 victory over newly promoted Port City FC in their Ghana Premier League Matchday Six fixture at the University of Ghana Stadium on Sunday, 11 October, 2026.
Speaking in a post-match conference, the Bosnian-Herzegovinian trainer observed that the condition of playing pitches is a significant concern for the domestic game in the country.
“This is not our stadium; it’s a national stadium. This is not just our home ground; it’s for all Ghanaians. It’s true that it’s not our stadium.
“We have to improve our team, and Ghana football already has a serious problem with pitches. I have a lot of obligations, and this is not part of them,” he told the press.
The win moved Hearts of Oak to second place in the league standings, three points behind leaders Medeama SC. For Port City FC, they dropped to fourth place following the defeat.
Accra Hearts of Oak will travel to play Vision FC in their next fixture, while Port City hosts Dreams FC at Akim Kukurantumi.
