The pitch at Riazor Stadium suffered extensive damage after a massive fan invasion during Deportivo’s promotion celebration. Over 20,000 supporters stormed the field, tearing up the turf, irrigation heads and even the goalposts.
The destruction puts the upcoming Spain‑Iraq international match at risk. The federation is now assessing whether the hybrid grass can be restored in time for Thursday’s kickoff.
Specialists warn that full recovery could take up to a week under current conditions. If the surface cannot be made safe, officials may have to relocate the game.
