‘Frost’ possibility before the Iceland – Turkey match
The Turkish National Football Team will face Iceland today in the fourth match of UEFA Nations League B Group 4. A notable report from the Icelandic press emerged before the critical game.
Our National Team will clash with Iceland in UEFA Nations League B Group 4. The match, which will be played at Laugardalsvollur Stadium in the capital Reykjavik, is set to start at 21:45 Turkish time. A significant report came from the Icelandic press before the match, which holds great importance for our team to maintain its lead in the group.
POSTPONEMENT POSSIBILITY
In the report released last evening by Iceland’s Visir, it was noted that there is a possibility of the match being postponed due to ice formation on the field at Laugardalsvöllur Stadium.
It was noted that due to the lack of an under-soil heating system at the stadium and significant ice formation on the pitch, Iceland and UEFA officials held a meeting last evening, but no decision was made. The report also stated that representatives from both national teams and UEFA would meet at 16:00 Turkish time to make a final decision regarding the potential postponement.
PITCH COVERED WITH A TARP
Meanwhile, it was reported that the stadium in the capital Reykjavik was quite unprepared for the cold weather and frost risk. The pitch was covered with a tarp, and a final decision regarding the surface is still awaited.
BOTH TEAMS TRAINED INDOORS
Additionally, both the Icelandic National Team and our National Team held their final training sessions in an indoor sports complex ahead of the match.
The weather during the match, scheduled to be played at 21:45 Turkish time, is expected to be around 2 degrees Celsius. It was highlighted that if a postponement decision is made for the critical match, it could be rescheduled for Tuesday, the final day of the international break.
