After Palmeiras’ victory against Santos for the Paulistão, coach Abel Ferreira exploded the situation on the pitch of the Alviverde arena.
Even with the victory in the classic, for the commander, it is essential that Wtorre, administrator of Allianz Parque, replaces the synthetic turf.
– We urgently need you to change the synthetic grass and replace it with another of the same standard as when I arrived here. Maintenance is lacking. Palmeiras already has many opponents, we have to resolve them internally and it must be the best for Palmeiras. If everyone puts their ego aside, they will be successful. Now it’s time to remove everything and install a new one,” he said.
Even though it is only the second match played at the Arena in 2024, after the victory against Santos, both the players and the coaching staff believe that the pitch needs to be changed urgently.
Despite the criticisms, the Portuguese commander understands that the stadium needs to “breathe” with all the events that involve it, such as concerts, and cited the Maracanã as an example and the Neo Química Arena as an “ideal” model and another that it also suffers from the conditions of the camp.
– The lawn is horrible. The Maracanã is one of the best stadiums, but with horrible grass, because there is a lot of play and it is impossible to restore the natural grass. Corinthians have no problems, because they play alone and the pitch is top-notch. I arrived in 2020 and have never complained about synthetics, I think it’s a valid option. I understand that a stadium like this must be more than a stadium, it can host concerts, shows, Palmeiras has grown with synthetic grass. There’s a thing called maintenance, and they need maintenance,” he said.
After Abel’s statements, Palmeiras released a statement stating that they will no longer play at Allianz Parque until the pitch is maintained according to the club’s expectations. A viable solution for the period away from the Allianz would be to use the Barueri Arena as a venue until the Arena situation is resolved. Check the statement:

Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras informs that, due to the current conditions of the Allianz Parque pitch, matches will only be played at the stadium again when Real Arenas fulfills its obligation to carry out adequate maintenance of the pitch.
It is important to highlight that the problem is not the synthetic grass, created with the aim of offering athletes a surface that is always in perfect condition, but the surface’s disregard for the quality of the pitch, which requires urgent improvements.
Due to the irresponsibility of third parties, we have no right to put at risk the physical integrity of professionals, both from Verdão and from opposing teams.
If the surface company Allianz Parque persists in delaying the necessary solution to this serious problem, we will ask the competent bodies to close the arena.
