Degenerating Pitches: CAF Changes Venue Of AFCON 2015 Quarter Final Clash
The Confederation of African Football said in a statement "the two pitches (in Ebebiyin and Monogo) have been adversely affected by combination of wear and tear from the six games played or to be played in each of them and the unstable weather conditions seen lately".
It added:
"The eight teams qualified for the quarter-final stages onwards should be
given the opportunity to play on grounds that provide the highest standards,
specifically those of Bata and Malabo, to ensure the quality of play remains at
the highest possible level."
