Akor Adams Calls for Better Pitches in African Football

Akor Adams, a forward for the Super Eagles and currently playing for Venezia in the Italian Serie A, has advocated for the development of standard playing surfaces in African football. Following Nigeria's 3-0 defeat to Guinea-Bissau, Adams refused to use the poor pitch as an excuse, stating that a good pitch should be a minimum requirement for international games.

He acknowledged that the Super Eagles should have anticipated the low-quality pitches they might encounter. Despite the loss, which left Nigeria three points behind Guinea-Bissau in Group L standings, Adams emphasized the team's responsibility for the defeat and their commitment to improving.

He noted that the Super Eagles had prepared well for the match and recognized the importance of the game in the qualification phase. Adams expressed confidence in the team's potential and their determination to rectify their performance in future matches.
