'Debibi United pitch is for cassava plantation, not football' – Gold Stars coach after defeat
Petros Koukouras, Bibiani Gold Stars Coach

Sports News 1 minute read

Bibiani Gold Stars head coach Petros Koukouras has criticised the condition of the Debibi Presby Park pitch, describing it as unsuitable for football following his side’s 1-0 defeat to Debibi United.

Debibi United secured the victory on Sunday, October 18, 2026, to move out of the relegation zone in the Ghana Premier League.

Maxwell Agyemang scored shortly before half-time to hand the hosts all three points, ending their three-match winless run and taking them level on seven points with Gold Stars.

Speaking after the match, Koukouras expressed frustration with the playing surface, arguing that its condition made it difficult for his team to play football effectively.

“We cannot discuss football. I don’t think this is a pitch designated for football. Maybe it is designated for cassava plantation. I don’t have anything else to say,” he said.

The defeat leaves Gold Stars with work to do as they prepare to host Heart of Lions in their next league fixture.

Debibi United, meanwhile, will seek to build on the victory when they travel to face Bechem United.
