Arena de Pernambuco gets upgrade before Flamengo v Sport clash | OneFootball

Flamengo and Sport face off next Saturday (15th) in a postponed Brasileirão round

Flamengo returns to the field for the 12th postponed round of the Brasileirão next Saturday (15th), against Sport, at the Arena de Pernambuco. On the eve of the match, the stadium will undergo a change in the pitch.

According to a report by Coluna do Fla, the Arena de Pernambuco now features a supplementary lighting tower to ensure greater stability of the pitch. This resource is used by various clubs and arenas worldwide.

In the state, the Arena de Pernambuco is the only stadium to have this technology. Thus, the equipment began operating this Monday (10th), reinforcing the commitment to grass quality.

HOW DOES THE LIGHTING TOWER BENEFIT THE PITCH?

The CEO of Arena de Pernambuco, Missionária Michele Collins, explained that the tower will allow for higher quality of the field in the medium and long term. The supplementary lighting helps to correct the lack of sunlight in some areas of the pitch, common in certain times of the year.

Thus, the equipment promotes the photosynthesis necessary for healthy grass growth. Additionally, artificial lighting strengthens the natural defense of the pitch against diseases.

More uniform growth contributes to aesthetics and athlete performance. Therefore, the resource proves essential for maintaining a high-level field.

IS THIS THE LAST CHANGE AT THE ARENA?

The installation of the tower is part of a set of ongoing improvements at the stadium. According to the CEO, the goal is to deliver excellence in all areas of Arena Pernambuco. Other measures are planned to enhance infrastructure and the experience for the public and athletes.

WHAT TIME DOES THE BALL ROLL FOR FLAMENGO AND SPORT?

Flamengo and Sport face off this Saturday (15th) at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), for the 12th (postponed) round of the Brasileirão. The match at Arena de Pernambuco will be streamed on Prime Video. Coluna do Fla will cover all the details in real-time, with coverage on digital platforms.
