According to the “Sun” report, the World Cup soccer tournament held in Russia in 2018 will be arranged on artificial turf pitches in 11 cities. As we all know, most football top events are held on well-maintained natural grass pitches, while Russian football is mainly artificial grass pitches, so it is a big test for the teams coming to this tournament.
At the 2015 Canadian Women's World Cup, all of them used artificial grass pitches to compete. This caused great controversy at the time. Female football players led by American female stars even united to bring FIFA and the Canadian Football Association together. After the lawsuit, FIFA promised to withdraw the lawsuit after it will no longer use artificial grass.
The artificial turf pitch failed to test the water for the first time in the World Cup. At the time, the FIFA Secretary-General was still full of confidence in artificial turf and stated that it is possible to use artificial turf pitches in the Football World Cup. In fact, since the World Cup in 2018, the team has encountered artificial turf since the qualifier. Many teams have also practiced artificial turf pitches in order to adapt to the venue.
Russia, as the organizer of the 2018 World Cup, uses artifical turf pitches for part of the year because of its geographical relationship. Most of the time in the year is low temperature and cold weather, which is very unsuitable for the growth of natural grass. In 2008, for the UEFA Champions League final, the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow was specially paved with natural grass. However, due to improper maintenance, Captain Chelsea accidentally slipped in the crucial penalty shootout and missed the championship.
Most of the football players who can enter the World Cup match come from strong football clubs. They are often willing to spend money to prepare good quality natural turf pitches for their stars. For those who have adapted to playing at these venues, artificial turf pitches are indeed a major test. To this end, Russia has adopted a new technology that is different from the past, namely a turf that is a mixture of artificial grass and natural grass, in an effort to achieve the best sports experience.
Since the development of artificial turf, through continuous improvement and innovation, from elementary and junior high school playgrounds to street stadiums, to renting stadiums and stadiums, from ordinary stadiums to professional golf courses, it has finally entered the world cup football tournament, the highest level of football in the world. The popularity of the artificial grass court from the bottom up has become irresistible.
