Nordic Countries Collaborate to Replace Rubber Granules on Football Pitches

The Nordic countries have agreed to cooperate to find a replacement for the rubber granules, so-called rubber granulate, which is used among other things on artificial turf pitches for football. It is important that this is done now and it is good that we cooperate on this so that we get both biologically degradable granules but also at reasonable costs, says Minister for Social Affairs and Sport Jakob Forssmed (KD). The Swedish Football Association welcomes the announcement.
