Earlier, according to the "Sun" report, the World Cup in Russia in 2018 will be arranged on artificial grass courts in 11 cities. As we all know, most of the well-known football events are carried out on a well-maintained natural grass pitch, and Russian football is dominated by artificial grass pitches, so it is a big test for the team that comes to this game.
At the 2015 Canadian Women's World Cup, all of them used artificial grass pitches to compete, which caused great controversy at the time. Female football players led by American female stars even joined forces to mention FIFA and the Canadian Football Association. After the lawsuit, FIFA promised that the lawsuit would be withdrawn after the artificial grass would not be used again.
The artificial grass pitch failed in the World Cup test. At that time, the FIFA Secretary General still had confidence in artificial turf, indicating that it is possible to use artificial grass courts in the Men's World Cup in the future. In fact, since the 2018 World Cup, the team has encountered artificial turf since the qualifiers. Many teams have specially practiced at the artificial grass pitch in order to adapt to the venue.
As the organizer of the 2018 World Cup, Russia has been using artificial grass pitches for a long time because of its geographical relationship. Most of the time in the year is cold and cold weather, which is very unsuitable for the growth of natural grass. In 2008, for the Champions League final, Moscow Luzhniki Stadium specially laid natural grass, but due to improper maintenance, Chelsea captain accidentally slipped in the key penalty shootout and missed the championship.
