Stuttgarter Kickers, a regional league club from Germany, calls the Stadion auf der Waldau its home stadium. Images from Getty Images show the stadium in full glory. However, Switzerland’s preparations for their Euro 2024 group game against Scotland have been disrupted due to an unexpected issue with their training pitch at the Stadion auf der Waldau. The Swiss FA has explained that dead roots in several areas of the pitch have caused it to deteriorate.
In response to this issue, Bundesliga club Stuttgart has stepped in to provide temporary training facilities at Robert-Schlienz-Stadion while Uefa works to fix the problem. The Swiss team will be using the VFB Stuttgart training pitch for their training sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday leading up to the game against Scotland.
Although they will need to assess the condition of the new grass at Robert-Schlienz-Stadion on Thursday before returning to train there, Switzerland is adapting well to this change in plans and making necessary adjustments to ensure they are fully prepared for their upcoming match against Scotland.
