Gernot rohr wants npfl matches to be played on grass pitches

Gernot Rohr, the head coach of the Nigerian national team, has indeed expressed his preference for NPFL (Nigerian Professional Football League) matches to be played on grass pitches.

In an interview with the Nigerian media, Rohr emphasized the importance of playing on grass pitches, citing the benefits for player development and the overall quality of the game. He believes that grass pitches provide a better playing surface, which can help to improve the technical skills of Nigerian players.

Rohr's comments have sparked a debate in Nigeria, with some fans and coaches arguing that the country's climate and infrastructure make it more practical to play on artificial turf. However, Rohr remains committed to his stance, believing that the benefits of playing on grass pitches outweigh the challenges.

It's worth noting that Nigeria has a long history of playing on artificial turf, particularly in the NPFL. However, there are some grass pitches in the country, particularly in the top-tier clubs and international stadiums.

Rohr's push for grass pitches is seen as a positive development for Nigerian football, as it could help to improve the overall quality of the game and provide a better platform for players to develop their skills.
