RSC Anderlecht wants to work on grass. The playground at Lotto Park is in very poor condition. The Belgian record champion chooses a solution in the short and long term.
The reason for the poor field at Lotto Park is not beyond research. The wet summer caused fungal infections in the turf, while the large number of fixtures – plus RSC Anderlecht women’s teams, RSCA Futures and Union SG regularly play their home matches there – ensured it was completely destroyed.
