A FIFA-recognized artificial turf in Bahan, Yangon, which has 200 LUX Maintained Average Horizontal illumination level, is available for football fans and public, according to the official statement by the Myanmar Football Federation.
People can rent the international level football turf whenever Myanmar National Football squads take their break from training sessions on the turf.
The turf in Bahan, near the northern gateway of Shwedagon Pagoda, is currently the best in Myanmar and offering a convenient connection for football fans as it is located in the downtown area of Yangon, said MFF officials. The turf can be rented with one match rate and special price rates are set for amateur football leagues, according to the MFF.
A match rate for the turf has set as K 100,000 per hour at the day time but K 60,000 would be added to the price at night for the extra cost of turf’s lighting and illumination, MFF stated.
The turf is ordinarily taken by Myanmar National Footballers and Myanmar National League clubs thus football fans need to place a booking a week earlier, MFF officials said.
