NSA boss calls for public education on pitch maintenance after viral video criticism
Yaw Ampofo Ankrah, Director General of the National Sports Authority (NSA), urged greater public education on football pitch maintenance after a viral video circulated on social media showing early stages of maintenance work. He stated, "I don't blame people, or even my colleagues, for being ignorant of what goes into pitch maintenance. I was once ignorant of the process myself. The video circulating shows the dirty work that is done before all the other maintenance processes begin." He made these comments on Asempa FM's Ultimate Sports Show.
Ampofo Ankrah acknowledged his own limited knowledge of pitch maintenance before assuming office, insisting the footage captured only the initial phase of a comprehensive process. He explained that preparing a football pitch requires several technical procedures beyond what was shown in the viral clip, noting that early groundwork is an essential step towards producing a quality playing surface. He stressed the importance of using the media to educate the public on the realities of pitch maintenance, believing a better understanding would encourage more constructive discussions.
