\"KotokoAsante Kotoko will play Techiman Eleven Wonders on a potato park<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In a period that Ghana football is expected to be going through a process of normalization, Asante Kotoko will be playing Techiman Eleven Wonders on what appears like a potato field in the Match Day 3 of the NC Special Competition.<\/p>\n

The semi-grassless field at Nkoranza will be hosting the Ghanaian giants as they play as guests to the Techiman-based side who have been forced to relocate due to renovation works ongoing on the Nana Ameyaw Park in Techiman.<\/p>\n

Techiman Eleven Wonders, according to reports, are renovating their pitch at the Nana Ameyaw Park, forcing them to shift their home games to the Nkoranza Park which is in a bad state.<\/p>\n

The embarrassing state of the field quickly caught the headlines when skipper of the home side, Abdul Wahab, complained bitterly about the field and how it will affect the game.<\/p>\n

According to the striker, the pitch is not good enough to host a Premier League game and it will reduce the quality of the game on Sunday when they welcome the Porcupine Warriors.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur game with Kotoko will be like a Division One match because of the pitch.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pitch at the Nkoranza Park is not good for a Premier League sides,\u201d Abdul Wahab complained in an interview with Silver FM Sports on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Despite the passionate complain from the skipper of the home side, the Ghana FA Normalization Committee has already approved the semi-grassless pitch impregnated with uncountable potholes to host Premier League football.<\/p>\n

The shocking state of the field has stirred controversy in the media with genuine concerns popping up on what the committee is really doing to normalize the Ghanaian game.<\/p>\n

With the mandate of normalizing Ghana football, it was least expected that such a potato pitch will be allowed to host a Premier League football in Ghana.<\/p>\n

Strangely, the Nkoranza Park has not even hosted Division One League games in so many years let alone Premier League football.<\/p>\n

It still remains shocking as to why the Normalization Committee endorsed a pitch in that state to host elite football games.<\/p>\n

While Asante Kotoko will be looking to register their first away win in the competition, the home side are poised to register their first home win.<\/p>\n

But that still remains a huge doubt as the quality of the game is facing a huge threat with both teams looking very unhappy about the state of the field.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
