Sports minister, Kofi Adams
Sports minister Kofi Adams has announced that the government will soon roll out a new initiative to improve football pitches across local communities.
Speaking at the KGL Foundation Black Stars sponsorship event, Adams said the move is aimed at boosting grassroots football by ensuring that players across the country have access to quality playing fields.
“We want to see community pitch that if a player is playing in my village on a pitch when he moves to say the capital of the region or the capital of the country and he gets the big pitch there should not be much difference,” as aired by Peace FM.
“The only difference will be the stadium ambience but for the pitch we want to make sure that the pitches are quality at the community level so we are going to be launching the program very soon,”
The new program is expected to bridge the gap between local and professional-level football pitches.
