Unfortunately they discovered at the last moment that the pitch- not the ground itself- failed the Uefa test. A real shame as they have put in a tremendous amount of time and effort into making sure everything complied with the strict regulations.

Its a 3g or 4g pitch which is compliant with UEFA rules but apparently they did some tests and found the ball was rolling too far. Bit unfair really as no tests are done on other grass pitches, some of which can be bone dry at this time of the year in hotter countries and the ball would roll twice as far. But I suppose that's the danger of not having a fully natural pitch.
