🌍 A Unique Tournament, A Transformed Stadium!
With just a few months left before the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 kicks off, one of the most talked-about topics is the major changes made to MetLife Stadium, located near New York City, USA.
This $1.6 billion stadium, traditionally home to NFL teams like the New York Jets and New York Giants, has installed natural grass for the first time in over 10 years — in preparation to host this prestigious club competition.
⚽ FIFA Club World Cup: A Test Run for the World Cup Preparations
This international tournament is scheduled to start on July 13, 2025, and will run for an entire month. MetLife Stadium will host nine matches, including the final.
This is a major trial run demonstrating how the 2026 FIFA World Cup — to be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico — will be organized and prepared
🟢 From Artificial Turf to Natural Grass – A Major Transition
MetLife Stadium had been using artificial turf known as UBU Speed S5-M since 2010, later switching to FieldTurf Core HD in 2023. But with FIFA ushering in a new era of football, the stadium decided to install natural grass to help players perform better and reduce injuries.
👉 This natural grass provides comfort and safety for football players, bringing the stadium closer to meeting FIFA’s official standards.
đź§ Why Is This Change Important?
Research shows that natural grass reduces injuries, allows the ball to roll smoothly, and gives players confidence in their play.
This will be a big advantage for teams participating in the Club World Cup such as Real Madrid, Al Ahly, Palmeiras, and others.
đź—Ł️ Reactions
Some NFL players have expressed concerns, saying the change may favor football (soccer) more than American football. However, New York residents and football fans see it as a positive step forward.
