The introduction of synthetic turf at the stadium brings numerous advantages over conventional grass surfaces as the artificial turf offers enhanced durability.
It is pertinent to mention here that Sindh already boasts several such stadiums, showcasing its commitment to providing state-of-the-art facilities for athletes.
On the other hand, provinces like Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab have been presented with a challenge to catch up and invest in the advancement of their sports infrastructure.
