Atlètic Lleida will return to the Ramon Farrús stadium on Sunday, March 8th, for their match against Poblense, following concerns over the unplayable condition of the Camp d'Esports pitch.

The decision was made after technical evaluations by Royal Verd, the company in charge of pitch maintenance. Their reports indicate that the grass is unlikely to improve in the short term, prompting the club to seek a temporary relocation to their usual training ground.

"The club has taken this decision after the assessments carried out by Royal Verd, which continues to inform the club that the current state of the pitch does not foresee a significant improvement in the short term."
