Schedule for the turf renovation

The works will begin in 2025 with the removal of cork, sand, and the current synthetic turf. After the completion of these initial phases, the work will be paused due to events and shows already scheduled at the venue. The resumption of activities is planned for early 2026, with the opening of drainage branches. Subsequently, the removal of filling residues, leveling of the gravel layer and compaction, opening of shock pad rolls, installation of carpets, sand spreading and distribution, and field marking will be carried out, among other necessary installations for the new surface.

Since its implementation, the turf at Allianz Parque has had FIFA approval. The decision to carry out the replacement meets the ongoing commitment of Palmeiras and WTorre to offer a field in ideal conditions for sports practice, always focusing on the health and safety of players. The floor update reinforces the pursuit of excellence in the arena's facilities.
