"Turan Tovuz" returns to its home ground. The team will play its first home game of the 2025/26 season at the Tovuz City Stadium today. Their opponent in the match, which will start at 16:00, will be "Shamakhi".
Idman.Biz, referring to sportinfo.az, reports that the process of replacing the artificial turf of the Tovuz stadium with natural grass began after the end of last season.
Therefore, the westerners were hosting their rivals in Surakhani - at the "Azersun Arena". But... The turf is still not fully usable. According to information from the club, the players who came out for their first training session here yesterday complained that the field caused them discomfort.
Filip Sharplaz, the director of "Caspian Sport and Landscape", which carried out the replacement of the turf, agrees with them.
The British agronomist warned Ehtiram Guliyev about this. He brought to the attention of the chairman of the club's Board that they should not rush to take over the lawn, they should wait for a while.
Sharplaz stated that it is necessary to wait two more weeks for the turf to harden. He said that the problem will be resolved by the second half of November.
However, Guliyev ignored the advice of the mentioned expert. The insistence of the executive side did not dissuade the chairman from his opinion.
