Pinnick made this known Thursday when paid a working visit to the state.
Pinnick had expressed satisfaction at the Lanreleke Sports Academy in Ileogbo and described the academy as a novel initiative in the Sub-Saharan Africa.
But when arrived at the Osogbo Township Stadium, Pinnick expressed displeasure at the condition of the stadium’s pitch and said it is not in line with club licensing.
He called on the state government and the Football Association to re-grass it and make the tattered pitch more appealing.
In his words, “Apart from this (stadium) which we need to talk to the FA and the State Government to re-grass, because this is not in line with club licensing and the problem is that we are here, we will deal with all these issues,” the football administrator said.

Arsenal star, Mohamed Elneny, has taken a veiled swipe at the club’s former manager, Unai Emery, ahead of the Gunners’ UEFA Europa League semi-final tie with Villarreal on April 29.
Elneny said he is now happy at Emirates under current Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, adding that Emery didn’t give him a chance to play.
The midfielder made 17 appearances in all competitions during Emery’s regime at Emirates.
The 28-year-old was loaned out to Besiktas last season but was offered an opportunity to resurrect his Arsenal career at the start of the current campaign under Arteta.
