Guinea-Bissau's Emiliano Té Addresses Pitch Concerns Ahead of Match

Emiliano Té, the head coach of Guinea-Bissau, has downplayed worries regarding the pitch condition at the September 24 Stadium in Bissau, where the Djurtus will face the Super Eagles in a 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying Matchday 2 encounter on September 29. The pitch has faced scrutiny due to persistent rainfall in the capital, which has left parts of the surface saturated.

The Super Eagles conducted a training session at the stadium on September 28, allowing them to evaluate the playing conditions before the match. Despite the concerns, Té stated that the pitch's condition is beyond the control of both teams, asserting, "We are playing in Africa and we know that our pitch is not one of the best, but it is what it is." The match is scheduled to kick off at 5 p.m.
