I learned about FIFA’s fickle flower policy when I was in Tanzania. They rejected the African grass in the National Stadium in Dar and requested European type grass that needs excessive care, water, chemicals etc. I was in the Amhara region stadium today in Bahir Dar and it seemed the same thing was happening until I saw 10 women with large hats carefully weeding the clover and flowering grass from the pitch!! That Football can’t cope with flowers says everything!!
