World football’s governing body FIFA and Desso Sports Systems will be collaborating closely with regards to Football Turf pitches. The goal? To create football fields that meet the optimal requirements of professional clubs and the sport in general. As a result, communities or football clubs that have a field installed by a FIFA Preferred Producer will be assured a high-quality field by a reliable supplier.
For the first time in history the World Cup has been played on reinforced natural grass. The teams that would be playing matches on these pitches were therefore very curious about them.
When professional football players hear the word synthetic grass fibres, they tend to be prejudiced against the system. They believe that the presence of the synthetic fibres could interfere with play and that they would have to adapt to this type of pitch as a result. Nonetheless the ingenuity of the system is found underground.
Wembley is the iconic home of the English national team and also plays host to a number of top matches in the English football calendar. Wembley is also a true multi-functional stadium, hosting other sporting events including rugby and american football as well as pop concerts. The Desso GrassMaster system aims to allow Wembley to combine these functions to full effect.
Desso’s partner J. Mallinson (Ormskirk) Ltd. have constructed the new field.
