NSA deputy director Majeed Bawa slams critics over Baba Yara Stadium pitch condition

Deputy Director General of the National Sports Authority Bawa Majeed, has fired back at critics of the Baba Yara Stadium condition, quizzing “were Angola playing in the sky” after their match against Ghana in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

The pitch had been widely criticized for its poor state after the social event dubbed the ‘Kumuyi’ Church program was hosted on the turf in July.

Felício Milson capitalized on Mumin’s error to fire home the winning goal in stoppage time for Angola with many attributing the mistake to the nature of the pitch.


“Are they suggesting that the Angolans were playing in the sky? They are all footballers,” Bawa told Asempa FM.

“Those they assembled to play against the Black Stars are professionals. We assembled our professionals. They all played on the same pitch. So CAF has inspected the pitch and approved it for the game.

“Let’s just look at what happened. We might not be coaches but we follow and understand football. We all suspected and wanted, even the fans themselves were agitating for change in the 60th minute,” He concluded.

Ghana’s loss leaves them in third place in Group F, with Angola and Sudan leading the pack.

The Black Stars will seek redemption in their next match against Niger on September 9.
