Chennai: Mayor Radhakrishnan Stadium in Chennai is all set to host the highly-anticipated Asian Championship Trophy Chennai 2023, and it has undergone a remarkable transformation with the installation of the cutting-edge Poligras Paris GT zero hockey turf. The upgraded stadium was officially inaugurated on Friday by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin in a splendid ceremony, graced by the presence of Minister for Youth Welfare and Sports Development Department of Tamil Nadu, Udhayanidhi Stalin.
The prestigious Asian Championship Trophy in Chennai 2023 is not only a significant event in its own right but also serves as a crucial preparatory platform for the upcoming Hangzhou Asian Games. From August 3 to August 12, hockey fans can look forward to witnessing top-notch action as India, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Japan, and China compete for the coveted title of the Hero Asian Champions Trophy.
The centrepiece of this transformation at Mayor Radhakrishnan Stadium is the state-of-the-art Poligras Paris GT zero hockey turf, meticulously designed to enhance player performance and ensure a world-class sporting experience. What sets this turf apart is its eco-friendly composition, as it is made with 80% sugarcane and manufactured using green energy. This innovative approach not only showcases a commitment to sustainability but also aligns with global efforts to protect the environment.
One of the notable advantages of the Hockey Zero turf is its minimal water requirements, contributing to conservation efforts and sustainable resource management. By utilising cutting-edge technology, the turf has been engineered to prevent water wastage, making it a significant stride towards creating a more environmentally responsible sporting infrastructure.
The Poligras Paris GT zero hockey turf has already proven its mettle at prestigious events like the FIH Odisha Hockey Men’s World Cup 2023, held in Bhubhanewar-Rourkela. Its success at these esteemed competitions has earned it the honour of being selected for use at the 2024 Paris Olympics and the FIH Men’s Hockey World Cup in 2026.
