Stabile says Corinthians will relay Neo Química Arena pitch for World Cup | OneFootball

The Neo Química Arena will undergo maintenance during the break in Corinthians competitions for the World Cup. According to president Osmar Stabile after the victory over Atlético-MG in the Brasileirão, Timão’s home will receive improvements on and off the field, including cleaning of the external area and replacing the pitch at the black-and-white club’s stadium.

“Now, with the World Cup break, we’re going to replace the pitch. Besides replacing the pitch, we’re also going to do cleaning, organize the locker rooms, clean them, have the entire outside area of the arena washed, and we’ll also replace any LEDs that are needed,” he began.

“So, maintenance at the arena is being carried out, and we want all teams to do the same, especially regarding the locker rooms. In many places we have difficulties with the locker rooms, so the idea is to improve them, standardize them, and help Brazilian football evolve as a whole,” he continued.

“That is the CBF’s thinking, that is the president’s thinking, Samir’s as well, and the points that were made are aimed at helping us move in that direction, so that we can market Brazilian football better, not only here in Brazil, but throughout the rest of the world,” he concluded.

Break

Corinthians will play their last match at the Neo Química Arena before the World Cup break this Wednesday at 9:30 p.m., against Argentina’s Platense, in the final round of the Libertadores group stage. Playing at home, Timão will try to end the first phase on a high note. Already qualified in first place in the group, the black-and-white side is still fighting for first place overall in the competition.
