Ulsan’s Munsu soccer stadium, which was warned by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) for its poor turf condition, will be completely replaced.
The Ulsan Facilities Corporation announced on Nov. 13 that it plans to complete the replacement of the Munsu Football Stadium turf by the middle of next month by transplanting the grass from the Munsu Auxiliary Stadium. If all goes according to plan, the K1 Split League match on Nov. 23 and the AFC Champions League Elite (ACLE) match on Nov. 26 will be held at Munsu Stadium without any disruption. The secondary stadium, which gave up its turf to Munsu, 카지노 사이트 추천 will be reseeded next spring and will be available in the first half of the year.
The Kentucky Bluegrass turf at Munsu Soccer Stadium is a bentgrass turf that requires a temperature of 15 to 25 degrees to thrive. Above 28 degrees, it stops growing. Munsoo Stadium is 7 meters lower than the ground and has a roof that covers 87% of the bleachers, making it difficult for grass to grow in the summer due to poor lighting. This year, due to the prolonged heat wave, the grass was peeled off in many places, exposing the soil and making it difficult to play. As a result of the criticism from soccer fans and the AFC’s judgment that the condition was “unplayable,” the third match against Vissel Kobe (Japan) will be held at Ulsan Sports Complex instead of Munsu Football Stadium.
“We are actively considering building a ‘ground automatic temperature control system’ that can adapt to climate change and introducing ‘new varieties’,” said an official from the complex. ”We will do our best to maintain the grass in the best condition so that there is no disruption to the operation of soccer matches.”
Munsu Football Stadium, the home of Ulsan HD Football Club, was completed in June 2001 and hosted matches such as Denmark vs. Uruguay in the group stage, Brazil vs. Turkiye in the quarterfinals, and Germany vs. the United States in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup.
