Monimitchelle Carpets Dimeji Lawal On AFCON 2024




Monimitchelle Carpets Dimeji Lawal On AFCON 2024



I will totally disagree with Dimeji Lawal. He should have just told the coaches to forget about our elite players and concentrate on our home based good players. African qualifiers games will always be a struggle for our Super Eagles team  because most of our key players invited to the Super Eagles are elite football players that ply their trade day in day out on elite pitches, However, when it comes to the Nations cup proper, we still need these our elite players in the team.


The Cocan23 pitches for AFCON have been specially prepared just for the AFCON. We class them as tournament pitches.


Remember the COCAN 23 was moved from the rainy season in 2023 to the dry season in January 2024 to allow a loam that can be easily used to manage the root zone of the AFCON tournament elite pitches for the COCAN 23. 


These tournament pitches are not sustainable pitches for countries that lack simple maintenance culture. Raining season will expose these beautiful tournament pitches.


COCAN 23 will showcase some of the best and elite African players in the AFCON 23 in Cote de ivoire.


Elite players, in particular, expect and require superior quality pitches, which provides a consistent response within a very narrow range of performance parameters, from their interactions with the pitch and ball. 


This consistency will help to minimise the potential risk of injury from the natural grass pitch conditions and give perfect ball movement.


In the playing days of our Super legend Dimeji Lawal, the evolution in 21st century pitch technology was not out, so he never played a competitive game on an elite 21st century pitch.


I remain your loyal Groundsman
