The Estádio da Rua Javari, home of the traditional Juventus, underwent an official FIFA inspection on Wednesday for the approval of its new synthetic turf. The technical inspection is a necessary step to ensure that the surface meets the strict international standards required by the football governing body.
FIFA's evaluation covers various essential aspects for the quality and safety of the playing field. Among the criteria analyzed are the flatness of the terrain, impact absorption capacity to protect athletes, and the ball's roll and bounce, which directly influence on-field performance.
Additionally, the drainage conditions and overall resistance of the synthetic turf are meticulously checked. Approval ensures that the stadium will be fit to host matches according to the standards set by the international federation.
The installation of the new synthetic turf involved a detailed process that began with soil preparation, followed by precise leveling of the surface. Adjustments were made to the drainage system to optimize water flow, ensuring the field's durability and performance under different weather conditions. This update is part of an improvement package implemented by the SAF that took over the club's management.
