"Hybrid type is the future trend of football. Indonesia is only using JIS," he added.
On the other hand, the composition consisted of five percent using synthetic and 95 percent natural grass. Moreover the function of synthetic grass was to strengthen the structure of the grass.
"So later the grass won't fall off or sink. Full maintenance is the same as natural," he stated.
As for the information, JIS is not the only stadium that will use hybrid grass, as well-known stadiums in Europe such as the Allianz Arena Stadium owned by German giants Bayern Munich, the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London also use hybrid grass.
