Keshi condemns Abuja stadium pitch.

Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi on Tuesday expressed his displeasure over the state of the    Abuja Stadium pitch. The stadium was refurbished recently.

Keshi, who  spoke to reporters  after the  Eagles’ first training at the stadium  ahead of their 2014 World Cup qualifying playoff against Ethiopia in Addis Ababa, said the pitch was not good enough for football.

“From what I saw, it is a sandy pitch and it is hard; it will be very difficult for the players to play on it, especially the goalkeepers because it is sharp sand,” Keshi was quoted  as saying on Tuesday.

“If it rains, I think, the pitch will be water-logged.”
