2026 WCQ: ‘I’m disappointed’ – Chelle on CAF’s decision
Eric Chelle, head coach of the Super Eagles, voiced disappointment over the poor condition of the Free State Stadium pitch in Bloemfontein ahead of Nigeria’s pivotal World Cup qualifier against South Africa.
Chelle noted that his team had minimal preparation time due to their late arrival in the country. Speaking to Super Sports, he stated, “We arrived late and only had one training session before this match. We had to prepare on the pitch itself. We prepared mentally, but this surface makes mental readiness even more important. I’m really disappointed because both teams deserve a quality pitch. South Africa has a talented side and plays very well.”
Even with the criticism, CAF approved the stadium for the crucial encounter between the two teams.
