In St. Petersburg after the visit of the FIFA Commission developed a plan to save the lawn of the new stadium "Zenith".

According to local media, the natural grass cover in the arena is planned to be sewn with synthetic threads to strengthen the root system.

It is reported that this will stabilize the ground and reduce the wear of the field during the football match.

In the near future, agronomists will sew a small area, and within a few days will appreciate the effect of this technology.

After that, the lawn will be sewn throughout the territory and will germinate to the Confederations Cup.

This tournament will be held in Russia from June 17 to July 2, 2017.

Recall that the stadium "Krestovsky" was opened with a lot of flaws. In the first match of "Zenith" the players played under the broken roof, which leaked. Also in some parts of the field, instead of the lawn lay the foot mats.

The upcoming match with "Krasnodar", which is due on May 17, "Zenith" moved from the new arena to the old stadium "Petrovsky".
