Part 2/7:
Participants in the debate argue that before discussing the discontinuation of synthetic grass, a standardization of natural grass fields is crucial. Requirements such as a minimum height for grass, absence of holes, and proper drainage systems must be established and enforced through financial penalties for clubs that fail to comply. This standardization could create a level playing field and preserve the integrity of the game. As it stands, numerous stadiums, including Castelão, Mineirão, and Maracanã, are cited for their poor natural grass conditions, which undermine the arguments against synthetic turf.
