If one person has done this alone, then he needs to be applauded. This happens to be the 153rd pitch we\u2019ve commissioned under the President Akufo-Addo-led administration.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201cBefore Akufo-Addo became the president, we had one astroturf pitch in the country. So he built an additional 152 astroturf pitches for talented young potential footballers who dream of becoming professional footballers come through\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He highlighted Ghana\u2019s preparation for the upcoming African Games competition which will be staged in the country next year.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-420000 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG-20231126-WA0049-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>He said Ghana will be hosting the African Games next year in March, adding that \u2018\u2019We are hosting 54 countries in this country.
