Rwanda-Benin match on synthetic pitch: the Cheetahs coach talks about the challenges

The Cheetahs of Benin trained this Tuesday on the synthetic turf of Kigali Pelé Stadium as a prelude to the match which will oppose them to Rwanda on Wednesday March 29, 2023. The coach of the Beninese team, in a statement to the press, expressed his preoccupation with the synthetic playing surface, which most of his players are not used to. “Playing on synthetic? A problem,” said the manager, adding that “the synthetic pitch we will find out. Most of my players are not used to this kind of surface”.

This statement hints that the Beninese team may face difficulties in adapting to the synthetic turf, which could affect their performance in the game. However, the coach also indicated that the team will work to adapt and cope with this challenge.

Indeed, the playing surface is a key element that can influence the game and the performance of players, and the transition from natural grass to synthetic turf can be a real challenge. However, with proper training and a good game strategy, the Beninese team might still be able to deal with this situation.

It is important to note that this match is crucial for the Cheetahs who seek to qualify for the next African Cup of Nations (CAN) scheduled for 2023. The stakes are therefore very high and the rapid adaptation to the synthetic turf could make the difference between victory and defeat.
