Loch: Awka Stadium Pitch Better Than Abuja Stadium: Bayern Munich Coach by Anambra1stSon(op): 6:33am On May 07, 2022
Christopher Loch, has lauded the quality of the Awka Township Stadium in Anambra, rating it above that of the MKO Abiola National Stadium in Abuja.

Mr Loch, a coach with the Bayern Munich FC Academy, was in Awka for the Bayern National Youth Cup.

“I was not expecting to see this, it is an amazing perfect pitch; good for football,” he asserted, “we had this event in Abuja, the pitch was natural grass but not as perfect as this.”


“Pitches like this enhance the beauty of football; that is why coaches and players look for good pitches,” Mr Loch stressed. “It is good for ball movement and ball control and off the ball. We had this event in Abuja, the pitch was natural grass but not perfect.”
The German enjoined that the “perfectly built” pitch should be maintained regularly.


He said, “For a football game, I don’t think any is missing here, the only thing missing here are the players, let there be more games here,” he said.

A football enthusiast John Chidozie commended the Anambra government for contracting Monimichelle Construction Company to put the hybrid synthetic pitch in place.

Mr Chidozie appealed to Governor Chukwuma Soludo to allow the contractor maintain the pitch for a while before it would be handed over to the government.

He said that his appeal was because of the huge sum spent on the renovation of the stadium.

Prof Soludo will now expand the stadium with more seating capacity, with other sport facilities.

Obiano's legacies can't die in history of Anambra State

Checkout the ICC he built filled to capacity few days ago for event, Prof Soludo is using the venue also operational for private use unlike some governors they shut it down not to give credit to their predecessor

Keep deceiving yourself. North East will be better than your region in few years to come. Keep supporting terrorism.

Built with 50 billion naira by the hugely corrupt government of Obiano. I am yet to understand why the people still voted an APGA candidate when his predecessor was rapaciously corrupt and our people knew it. Maybe because an APC candidate was bitterly hated because of Buhari

The pitch is synthetic which is available in many states in Nigeria. Abuja Stadium has natural grass and we know how we maintain anything natural in this country.

Comparing a stadium that can't take up to five thousand spectators to a 60,000 capacity system is not necessary.

Maintenance is the key here, which if not taken into consideration will affect this fine pitch in few years.
