Goyang General 'rogue grass' Will Suwon World Cup Stadium Be Okay…There is no 'fracture' after the game

It is the "K-Zandi" that continues to be controversial. He left his home stadium, Sangam World Cup Stadium, and played at Goyang Stadium, but it didn't seem much different. Will Suwon World Cup Stadium, where the match against Jordan will be held, be okay.
The South Korean national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, is scheduled to play Group B's eighth match against Jordan in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 25th.
In its last Group B match, Team Hong Myung-bo had a 1-1 draw with Oman. In a tight race, the Korean team failed to secure Hwang Hee-chan's first goal, resulting in disappointment. Originally, the team's goal of early confirmation of its advance to the World Cup through two consecutive wins fell through. It still leads Group B with four wins and three draws (15 points), but it still has to pay attention to the pursuit of second-ranked Jordan and third-ranked Iraq (12 points or more). It should maintain its lead by beating Jordan in its eighth group.
In addition to the poor performance in the match against Oman, the "state of the stadium" is once again on the cutting board. The Korea Football Association has decided to play two consecutive home games at Goyang Stadium (against Oman) and Suwon World Cup Stadium (against Jordan) as the national team's home stadium, Sangam World Cup Stadium in Seoul, has recently found it difficult to play the game due to the controversy over "non-dureung grass."
However, the appearance of Goyang Stadium on the 20th was disastrous. Until the start of the game, it seemed to be in good condition. This was only the appearance. During the game, players were constantly caught trying to break through, shooting, and passing, tearing the grass or digging so deep that they could see the dirt floor.
Even the torn part of the game remained the same and the home was broken, leading to concerns of injury to the players. Not only was the grass shocked before it settled properly, but this phenomenon occurred as the floor became hard in the sudden drop in temperature.
The condition of the stadium is also directly related to the players' performance and injuries. If the floor is deep, the pass may not go out smoothly or the ball quality may change and lose accuracy. On top of that, players' feet can be caught in the groove formed by digging, leading to major injuries. Hong Myung-bo has already been called off due to injuries after the match against Oman. If additional defectors occur, there will be a big gap in the power.
Then, how about Suwon World Cup Stadium? Suwon World Cup Stadium began renovation in August last year due to aging. The stadium was also replaced. So far, no grass problems have been raised. Suwon Samsung, which uses Suwon World Cup Stadium as its home stadium, played two games against Asan, South Chungcheong Province (K League 2) on the 15th and Seoul E-Land (Korean Cup) on the 19th. At that time, there was no phenomenon in which the floor of the stadium was taken or dug up like Goyang Stadium. 메이저사이트
It is the first A match in a year and five months at Suwon World Cup Stadium. With the poor stadium condition continuing to raise eyebrows, attention is being paid to whether it will be able to sound the victory without any problems against Jordan.
