A new pitch has been laid at the Letzigrund Stadium in Zurich to ensure an optimum playing surface when the arena hosts three UEFA EURO 2008™ games.

Well used
With both local clubs, Grasshopper-Club and FC Zürich, sharing the stadium, the pitch had been used heavily during the Swiss Super League season, and it was decided to lay a new surface in time for the finals. The old pitch was taken up shortly after the end of the Swiss season new turf is now bedding in which should be in pristine condition by the time Romania face France in the stadium’s first finals game on 9 June.
