the airplane:

 

In New Zealand, negotiations with leaders included ensuring the players have the best seats in the aircraft. Not a small subject when you live on the antipodes and that the slightest movement requires a dozen hours poorly seated, knees in the seat of his neighbor in front. "When I got off the plane, I was a zombie, my muscles were so rigid that they were so long contracted," says Sarah Gregorius, the bridgehead of the business class struggle, "I needed three to four days to be able to train properly.

About stadiums the comparison is a bit fallacious... 

The fact is that some countries like Russia or Qatar, even Brazil tend to use the organization as a way of influence and soft power (every country does so but) and build big stadiums despite obvious malfunctions and probable decay of the facilities never used again. 

The situation is different in France, even for the last Euro medium size not so recent stadiums were used and for this WC there is no such thing as small ancient facilities. 

No stadium is less than 20k and apart from Montpellier (1997) they are either new or renovated in the last 10 years 

No artifical turf either, this is not Canada

for the stadiums that was a general comparaison

in Canada they played in the stadium fo Baseball and was artificial turf

I've never understood the big deal for artificial turf. In tennis they play on different surfaces, you just have to change your game.

[bestmen 2,922]

in tennis they don't fall don't tackle

on the artificial turf  you will slide easily , the rebound of ball is not the same

The rebound of the ball shouldn't be a problem, just get used to it. The problem is indeed with things like tackling, there's a rather significant rise in certain kinds of injuries on artificial turf (ankles, mostly). On the other hand, serious knee injuries seem to be more common on actual grass.

I'm pretty sure the same could be said for various tennis turfs?

[JoshMartini007 2,861]

Yeah, certain injuries are more common on different surfaces in tennis. There's a reason why Federer avoided the French Open for a few years while others try to limit their play on hard courts.

Nope. Most knee injuries occur when the foot gets stuck in the turf and the knee joint snaps the wrong way. It occurs on artificial turf more often.

And an actual football study said the opposite, but I can't find the link on my phone at the moment.
