Maracanã pitch to get special care for a quicker recovery | OneFootball

Fla-Flu duo jointly manages the Maracanã

Flamengo returns to action on Sunday (26), when it faces São Paulo in the 20th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match also marks Mais Querido’s return to the Maracanã after the World Cup break. In the meantime, the stadium’s pitch will receive special care.

In short, according to information released by GE, the Maracanã will have a new tool for pitch maintenance. It is a supplemental lighting system that will help the stadium turf recover more quickly after the end of each match.

It is important to mention that the new system uses SG LED lamps, originally from the Netherlands. The technology provides more even growth in the shaded areas of the Maracanã. In addition, it significantly speeds up the turf recovery process after games.

It is also worth noting that this technology is used in stadiums such as the Santiago Bernabéu and Camp Nou, both in Spain. Finally, the system also causes a significant reduction in energy consumption. This means that less heat will be needed on the grass for recovery to happen.
