How to show the lawn that FCSB will play tonight
The event lasts all week, and the football match of the red-blue with the Albanian ethnic team is kept in a “break” of Fote. This is why, as GSP.ro informed yesterday, the training sessions did not take place on the arena where the tonight game is played, but at the preparation base of the North-Macedonian football federation.
The reporters of the Sports Gazette had the opportunity to pay a brief visit to the “Todor Proeski” stadium a few hours before the start of the match between Shkendija and FCSB. A few minutes before another inspection from UEFA officials.
As the North-Macedonian representatives transmitted, on the stadium, the sports competitions took place on the track around the grass. The lawn looked good, even though there were fragments in which the grass was a little burned. Which is understandable in view of the high temperatures lately, this summer, including Skopje. In the area of the capital, there are whole areas burned.
The athletes were still on the stadium, the awards podium was located near the grass, the hosts had started cleaning in the stands.
32De degrees Celsius is announced tonight at the start of the Skopje match, temperatures have reached 45 degrees Celsius today in the North-Macedonian capital
