Riazor Pitch Concerns Ahead of Spain-Iraq

Deportivo de La Coruña's celebration following their direct promotion has left the Riazor Stadium pitch in suboptimal condition. Fans' pitch invasion after Sunday's match has raised concerns about the playing surface ahead of Spain's crucial World Cup preparation game.

The Spanish national team is scheduled to face Iraq on June 4th at 21:00 in their first warm-up match before the World Cup. With only two days to repair the pitch, stadium officials face a race against time to ensure the surface meets professional standards for the international fixture. palladian.co.za
