In addition to emphasizing the significance of pitch quality, Grant outlined key areas for development in African football. He underscored the importance of investing in the development of backroom staff, including analysis, medical, and scouting departments, to maximize players’ potential and performance on the field. Furthermore, Grant highlighted the necessity of providing education for coaches at all levels, from professional leagues to youth teams, as a crucial factor in unlocking Africa’s footballing potential.
