The grass condition at the Seoul World Cup Stadium has improved.
FC Seoul beat Daegu FC 3-2 in the sixth round of the Hana Bank K League 1 2025 held at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 2 p.m. on Sunday. Seoul has secured three wins, two draws and one loss (11 points) to rank second in the league.
Ahead of the game, the grass at the Seoul World Cup Stadium drew attention. Since the opening of the season, the grass has been in poor condition due to the cold weather. As a result, the A-match in March was held instead at Goyang Stadium and Suwon World Cup Stadium.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Seoul Metropolitan Facilities Management Corporation, which manage the Seoul World Cup Stadium, have decided to repair the grass. The plan was to replace some of them with hybrid grass and increase the density of grass. The corporation promised to repair the grass before the games in Seoul and Daegu.
Before the match, Daegu coach Park Chang-hyun said of the grass at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, "I think it looks good today. There is a murmur of whether a hybrid lawn is installed. I think it is mixed with a lot of plastic material. Players will feel it while warming up."
"I used to just cover (the grass) up, but now it's a hybrid," Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong said. "When you touch or walk, you can even make a loud noise. I think it contains more (artificial grass) than before," he explained.
The lawn at the Seoul World Cup Stadium is said to have been repaired by about 30 percent. According to Seoul officials, the ratio of artificial grass has not increased. However, as natural grass has not fully grown yet, those who stepped on the lawn felt as if there were more artificial grass.
The grass condition was in good condition. There were no irregular bound variables, and the frequency of grass digging or flipping was also noticeably reduced depending on players' movements. Players who played in person also expressed satisfaction. "There was no problem. The ball didn't come in an irregular way, and today it was good," Ki said after the game. 스포츠토토
Manager Kim Ki-dong also said, "I was satisfied. Viewers must have felt such things. The speed of the ball has accelerated considerably, and the ball has also improved in areas such as control. I think he showed high quality performance compared to the last game. I think we should continue to make every effort to play on the good grass."
