Recall the excitement surrounding the Garuda competing against Qatar’sNational Team during the AFC U23 2024 game?. Indonesia's young football champions have achieved remarkable feats. Although they did not emerge as winners, for the first time, the Red and White Team managed to reach the semifinals in an international competition.

Amidst these matches, another fascinating aspect was the lush football grass at Qatar's stadiums, including Jassim bin Hamad Stadium, Khalifa International Stadium, Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium, and Al Janoub Stadium.

Qatar is renowned for its use of advanced technology in constructing and maintaining stadiums. This extends to the selection and management of field grass, ensuring the facilities can withstand extreme climatic conditions and remain ready for major events.

The stadiums in Qatar utilize a hybrid type of grass—a combination of natural and synthetic grasses. Hybrid grass is more resistant to damage from competitions and repetitive training than purely natural grass. Synthetic fibers provide additional structure that helps maintain the integrity of the playing surface.

Moreover, hybrid grasses are designed to withstand a wide range of climatic conditions, including the extreme temperatures often found in regions like Qatar. As in other Middle Eastern countries, the climate here tends to be hot and dry for extended periods.

Hybrid grass also ensures a consistent surface across the entire field, thanks to the controllable synthetic fibers mixed with natural grass.

Offering a blend of aesthetics and functionality, hybrid grass is often the preferred choice for modern stadiums. However, installing hybrid grass requires careful consideration of costs and long-term management. It is advisable to consult with an experienced contractor when planning such installations.
