South Africa vs Nigeria: Nonsense pitch – Broos slams venue of 2026 WCQ clash


South Africa coach, Hugo Broos, has criticized the pitch of the Free State Stadium in Bloemfontein, describing it as “nonsense.”
Broos’ men will face Nigeria’s Super Eagles in a crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier at Free State Stadium on Tuesday evening.
Both teams head to the game after beating Lesotho and Rwanda, respectively.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Broos was not pleased with the pitch where Bafana Bafana and Super Eagles will clash.
“I have said already before, I am not happy with the pitch either,” Broos told reporters about the venue for Nigeria vs South Africa game.
“There were people that blamed me that I didn’t want to play here [Free State Stadium], this is stupid.
“This is nonsense, we would like to have a very good pitch like we had before.”
