A piece of content is published with the caption claiming that the laying of synthetic grass at the "Fadil Vokrri" stadium has begun.
The claim was published (June 6) through a video showing footage of the works at the stadium, from a TikTok account called "info.shqyp".
But, the findings of hibrid.info show that the grass planted in the field is of the hybrid type.
Link to the video material published by the "info.shqyp" account on TikTok:
The same claim has been published by several Facebook pages, using a photo that appears to have been taken from the above video (see here).
Hibrid.info has found that the author of this video is the medium “KTV – Kohavision”. The video was found published on the official channel of this medium, on Youtube, with the caption, “The laying of hybrid grass at the “Fadil Vokrri” stadium begins” (see here).
Which means that the renovated field at the "Fadil Vokrri" stadium will be of the hybrid type.
This is also confirmed by the post of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports on Facebook, an institution that had announced in March the complete reconstruction of the Fadil Vokrri stadium field (see here).
Hibrid.info has also researched the difference between synthetic and hybrid turf using a search engine. An article found shows that while synthetic turf is made up of 100% synthetic fibers, hybrid turf is a combination of natural grass and synthetic fibers (see here).
Analyze:
The claim that the "Fadil Vokrri" stadium field is being rebuilt with synthetic grass is incorrect.
Hibrid.info has found that the technology used to reconstruct this field is of the hybrid type.
Based on its work methodology, hibrid.info rates this content as "Fraud".
