UD Almería Stadium undergoes winter pitch reseeding

Royalverd is carrying out the work during the team’s double-header fixtures away from home taking advantage of the break in home matches to replace the playing surface with winter grass

UD Almería Stadium is currently undergoing its winter pitch reseeding programme, with the Club taking advantage of a favourable period in the fixture calendar, during which the Rojiblancos face 2 consecutive away matches against SD Eibar and Girona FC.

The maintenance work began immediately after the final home fixture against Real Oviedo. The project is being coordinated and carried out by Royalverd, the specialist company responsible for maintaining the playing surfaces at the Club’s facilities, including UD Almería Stadium, the Anexo training ground and theVega de Acá facilities.

The process involves gradually replacing Bermuda grass, the variety used during the summer months, with Ryegrass, a winter grass species better suited to lower temperatures and capable of ensuring optimal playing conditions.

According to the schedule established by the technical team, establishing the Ryegrass surface will require almost 3 weeks of intensive work. During this period, the first-team squad will continue to hold its training sessions at the Anexo base.

The team are not expected to return to UD Almería Stadium until the build-up to their next home fixture against FC Andorra, scheduled for Saturday, 14 November. This will give the players their first opportunity to train on and familiarise themselves with the newly prepared playing surface.
