Deputy General Director of Khimki Arena Dmitry Ustinov Informed the source about when the turf replacement work will be completed.
At the Khimki Arena, the turf is being replaced from natural to artificial. This is the final stage, with completion scheduled for July 10-11.
The decision to replace the turf is linked to the disappearance of FC Khimki Football Club and the prospects for the tenant FC Torpedo Football Club to move to its own stadium in the near future, and the life of the sports facility is expected to be filled with events. Accordingly, the largest scale can be achieved with artificial turf in terms of the number of events. We are aware that major events are associated with large numbers of spectators and high-profile television broadcasts, such as the Russian Premier League and everything in between. All the stadiums in the Moscow region have lost their arenas, and the local football club, unfortunately, has ceased to exist. As a result, (the turf needs to be replaced) in order to maximize the use of the arena. Additionally, you can list: the Women’s Super League, GFK matches CSKA Perhaps other teams, matches of all teams FNL Media matches. To take on this burden, we made this decision.
