Allianz Parque pitch gets top FIFA nod, debuts v Mirassol | OneFootball

The new pitch at Palmeiras’ Allianz Parque has received the ‘FIFA Quality Pro’ certification, the highest qualification granted by FIFA for football fields with synthetic technology. The approval confirms that the alviverde stadium now has a surface that meets the highest international standards of quality and performance.

The pitch was replaced after the previous surface showed natural wear due to intense use from matches and events. The new system brings improvements both in structure and in color, which has been adjusted to visually resemble natural grass, offering better conditions for athlete performance.

The official debut of the new field will take place on March 15, when Verdão hosts Mirassol for the sixth round of the Brazilian Championship.

One of the players who has already tested the new surface was striker Flaco López, who approved the changes made at the Palmeiras stadium.

In addition to benefiting player performance, the modernization also aims to provide more safety and consistency on the playing surface, a factor considered essential in professional football.
