The Zaragoza club has stated that the serious injuries suffered by its players are due to the condition of the pitch. "Especially when there are reports confirming the deep deterioration of the surface and highlighting a situation that cannot be ignored," the club added.
The condition of the pitch is compounded by lighting that is also unsuitable for playing matches. "At present, the minimum requirements for playing matches under artificial lighting at the facility are not being met, a particularly relevant circumstance for a club whose first team competes in Segunda RFEF," it added.
TWO-MINUTE STOPPAGES AND REQUEST TO THE CITY COUNCIL
The club has decided to hold two-minute stoppages during this weekend's home matches against Reus Reddis, while the youth team will do the same against Real Zaragoza. "Through this action, C.D. Ebro seeks to highlight the current situation of the facilities and demand a response to conditions that affect the development of our sporting activities," it said.
In addition, the La Almozara side is considering extending this action by opting for "a total and definitive suspension of all activity in every match played at home." "This is not a decision taken lightly or a merely symbolic protest. It is the consequence of a situation that we consider serious enough to request an urgent response," the club stressed.
Ebro has asked Zaragoza City Council to address the situation "as a matter of urgency." "We believe the situation requires more than commitments or conversations: it requires concrete action and a response proportionate to the seriousness of the circumstances outlined," the club concluded in its statement.
