Portuguese media A BOLA reports that Portuguese league team Leiria will use the Rio Maior Municipal Stadium for their upcoming home games, instead of their own Leiria Municipal Stadium.
Previously, Leiria’s home stadium hosted the Rockin’1000 music festival, which subsequently caused severe damage to the pitch. From the official aerial photos released, it is evident that the entire pitch is in a poor state, resembling a vegetable patch. Extensive repairs and interventions are necessary to restore the pitch to a condition suitable for hosting games. Therefore, for the next two home games (against Maritimo and Fergelas), Leiria will not be able to play in their own stadium.
