The pitches at GSCE are looking nice and ready for action
The Ghana Football Association has been hit with a barrage of questions on social media following the posting of a documentary on the renovated Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence (GSCE) across their social media platforms.
The GFA shared the video of the transformed facility with the hope of earning praise from Ghanaians.
The FA did receive some positive remarks, but they also faced some criticism.
The criticism, which came in two forms, saw the GSCE being compared to similar facilities across the continent, particularly in Morocco and Egypt.
The critics argue that these countries built more magnificent and multi-purpose facilities with less money than the GFA used.
The other school of thought is that the work of the GFA on the GSCE is irrelevant unless the place can serve as a camping base for the Black Stars.
They believe that undertaking such renovations without creating suitable accommodation for the Black Stars is not worthy of commendation.
It remains to be seen if the facility will host the Black Stars when they come down for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar on March 21 and March 24, respectively.
About the GSCE
The Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence (GSCE) is the Technical Centre of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
It was built in 2004 through the FIFA Goal Project and handed over to the Association in 2008.
The Centre is in Miotso, in the Ningo/Prampram District of the Greater Accra Region.
