According to Afri-foot, Broos expressed his concern in the press conference before his team take on the Red Devils at the Stade Alphonse Massemba-Debat on Tuesday, October 15, 2024.

The Belgian gaffer is concerned about the pitch quality of the match venue, as a bad pitch could affect their performance.

"My only worry is to see the pitch there," the former Club Brugge mentor said.

"It's a synthetic pitch. In the past, we have had bad experiences with synthetic pitches if they're not good.

"I think of the one in Rwanda that was bad. I never understood how you can play a qualifier for a World Cup on such a pitch."

The Bafana Bafana mentor also gave the only reason they won't have to complain about the pitch.

"But okay, let's look first at that. And if the pitch is like, for example, the one in South Sudan, then we can't complain," he added.
