Hybrid grass Al-Zawraa Stadium is equipped with a Limonta Mixto hybrid grass (natural grass imported from Italy and combined with synthetic fibres), a patented technology that makes it possible to reinforce the durability and resistance of the grass in order to host a high number of football matches. Each summer, a renovation is carried out in two phases : a scarification that allows the removal of all the natural part, leaving only the synthetic fibres, and in a second phase, new seeds are sown to regenerate the lawn. It takes about 6 weeks to carry out this renovation.
