Galatasaray Club Vice President Mehmet Cibara made statements regarding the issues with the RAMS Park pitch during the club's ordinary November board of trustees meeting. The meeting was held at the Özhan Canaydın Conference Hall at RAMS Park, under the chairmanship of board of trustees president Aykutalp Derkan.
Cibara stated that they are working with the company SIS for the stadium pitch, noting that there are three systems in place: heating, vacuum, and drainage. Reminding that the pitch was once cited as an example in Europe, Cibara explained that the deterioration begins around the same dates every year, and that the field recovers again in November following the work done in September.
The vice president emphasized that they will continue with the current pitch until December 17. Cibara said, “When you come to the stadium, you will not see a visually perfect field, but you will see good performance. Our players will also be satisfied.”
Stating that injuries are not caused by the pitch, Cibara noted that the situations of Rafael Leao and Victor Osimhen are different. Cibara stated that their biggest concern is snowfall and announced that a ready-to-use hybrid roll system to be brought from Italy is being planned.
Conveying that a different project will be carried out during the summer, Cibara mentioned that the hybrid ratio at Bayern Munich's stadium is 15 percent, while this ratio is at the 8 percent level at RAMS Park. Cibara added, “Perhaps we will increase it to 10 percent.”
