The Russian Football Championship will resume next weekend with matches of the 19th round. In Nizhny Novgorod it is 70-75% ready, but agronomists have no concerns about the quality of the field.

From December to February, the VTB Arena underwent renovation of its surface, which will host five matches in March. In Kaliningrad, several types of covering materials were needed to save the grass from rain and temperature changes. The first meetings will take place in Moscow, Rostov-on-Don, Krasnodar, Grozny, St. Petersburg, and Kalinedrad.
