Tondela set for major shake-up ahead of Sporting clash | OneFootball

Tondela is changing the pitch at Estádio João Cardoso. The renovations of the green carpet have already started and the works should be completed before October 26, the date when the Beirões host Sporting at their home ground, in a match for the ninth round of Liga Portugal.

The need to change the playing field arises from its weakened condition. In fact, the Tondela team had to host Famalicão in the second round of the league at a borrowed home, the Estádio Municipal de Rio Maior, more than 200 kilometers from their ground.

Tondela would have already returned to Estádio João Cardoso to face Estoril and Estrela da Amadora, but the pitch received several criticisms from the respective opponents. Thus, the auriverde SAD decided to replace the green carpet at a time when the venue will be without games for a month.

The new playing field for the emblem from the Viseu district should be ready for the reception of Tondela to Sporting. The match between Ivo Vieira's and Rui Borges' teams is already scheduled and will be played on October 26, at 6 PM, marking the ninth round of Liga Portugal.

Before that, the Alvalade Club seeks to continue their 3-0 victory against Moreirense and will have matches against Estoril and Napoli away and Braga and Marseille at home. These matches will count for the National Championship and the Champions League.
