The Confederation of African Football,
CAF, have committed to much better pitches at Afcon 2019 after the quality of
pitches was a matter of great concern at the just concluded edition in Gabon.
Players and coaches complained about
the quality of the pitches during the three-week tournament and the continental
governing body have revealed that they will do everything possible to ensure
that pitches are of high quality in Cameroon, the next hosts.
Caf spokesperson Junior Binyam,
despite the glitch, commended Gabon for a successful Afcon 2017 tournament,
especially considering that Gabon had less than 15 months to put in place the
tournament, which is the third highest football tournament in the world.
Cameroon will host Afcon 2019 at
four venues including the newly renovated StadeAhmadouAhidjo and the Limbe
Stadium that successfully hosted the 2016 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations.
