He Gran Canaria Stadium, where UD Las Palmas usually plays its matches in LaLiga EA Sports (First Division), has made a series of improvements to grass for the winter months, the Gran Canaria Council, owner of the facility, reported this Friday.
This measure, whose value has been 119,400 euros, is funded from agreement of the collaboration signed in 2006 between UD Las Palmas and the Insular Sports Institute, in which the Cabildo undertakes to finance some of the costs arising from the use of the facility.
The improvements consist of changing different summer grasses -cynodon dactylon Ibiza-, used during the dry and warm months, for the new type adapted to winter.
After the match on November 3 against the Atlético de Madridwhich ended in a 2-1 victory for the yellow team, it was decided to implement this measure to avoid problems arising from the greater weakness of the summer seed at this time.
The La Lajita Garden and Compost Center, located in Fuerteventura and directed by Orlando Cabrera, coordinated the lawn maintenance, which includes taking weed old, planting a new variety and covering it with Majorero compost sand, taking advantage of the changing weather and the most favorable climate conditions for cultivation.
Moreover, at this time league break Due to the international commitments of the teams, the corresponding additional care and irrigation were carried out to ensure that the grass was in the best condition for the next match to be played at home, next December 1 against Getafe, on the fifteenth day of against the league. .
