Real Madrid forced to temporarily close down their stadium

Real Madrid have been forced to temporarily close their Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano due to a severe fungus problem affecting the pitch.

According to a report by Spanish outlet Marca, the fungus has damaged the playing surface to the point where it is no longer fit for matches.

The club will now have to initiate an extensive treatment process to restore the pitch. This maintenance requires the Di Stefano stadium to be off-limits for the time being, preventing any further use until the situation is fully resolved.
