“Players deserve to play on a high -quality lawn worthy of the World Cup,” the report said. “But we don’t have to talk about this when looking at the Stadium’s lawn in Manaus. No one wants to see how players suffer on the field.”
The lawn of the stadium was injured due to flooding in Manaus. This arena will also have to accept matches between the national teams of Cameroon and Croatia, Honduras and Switzerland, the USA and Portugal.
Earlier, the press secretary of the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) Delia Fisher emphasized that the poor state of the lawn at the stadium in the Manauta will not interfere with the match between the national teams of England and Italy.
