In the match between Song Lam Nghe An and SHB Da Nang in round 1 of V.League 2023, the Vinh stadium's grass turned yellow, many places had dead grass, leaving only sand, and the field was full of holes, making the audience not really satisfied. Photo: Xuan Thuy

The same situation happened at Thanh Hoa Stadium in the match between Dong A Thanh Hoa and Song Lam Nghe An in round 2 of V.League 2023. This greatly affected the professional quality of the match. Photo: Xuan Thuy

In an effort to restore the green color to Vinh Stadium, workers working for Song Lam Nghe An have applied all techniques to quickly restore the grass in time for the match between Song Lam Nghe An and Hai Phong. Photo: Duc Anh

The grass grown at Vinh Stadium is of the coniferous grass variety. This grass provides better conditions for players to compete. The outstanding characteristics of coniferous grass are its hardness and good friction, helping players easily handle the ball as desired. Photo: Duc Anh

However, this type of grass is very difficult to care for, susceptible to pests and diseases, and difficult to survive in the rainy and frosty conditions of the North. Therefore, in winter, the grass often dies and is crushed, creating an ugly field surface. Photo: Duc Anh

Workers actively take the germinated grass to plant in the dead grass areas, restoring the green color to the field. Photo: Duc Anh

After being collected from the nursery area, the grass will be brought to the dead grass areas for further cultivation. Photo: Duc Anh

The grass is very susceptible to pests and diseases, so workers have to spray pesticides periodically to maintain the green color of the field. Photo: Duc Anh

The irrigation system for Vinh Stadium is quite modern. The entire field is watered by an automatic pump system. However, due to prolonged rain, frost and the amount of time the athletes spent practicing on the field, the grass did not have time to recover, leading to damage. Photo: Duc Anh

After efforts to take care of the field, the grass has now turned green again, the field surface has been improved, ensuring conditions for the match in round 3 of V.League 2023. Photo: Duc Anh

In addition, the seating system was also cleaned to welcome spectators to watch the highly anticipated match between host Song Lam Nghe An and Hai Phong. Photo: Duc Anh
