Galatasaray sends a clear message to the company over stadium pitch

Galatasaray management has taken action after the pitch deteriorated again quickly in recent period and after Victor Osimhen's injury. According to a report by Sabah newspaper, President Dursun Özbek informed the company that no payment will be made and demanded that the problem be fixed.

The pitch is expected to be taken in for maintenance again during the international break, and improvement work is expected to speed up. Head coach Okan Buruk had earlier stated that the pitch conditions negatively affected both teams and slowed down the game. The club aims to minimize pitch problems going forward with the new hybrid grass application.
