Arsenal is the seventh Premiership club with a stadium pitch by Desso Sports Systems
Arsenal will play the semi-finals in the UEFA Champions League against the Spanish Villarreal tomorrow. This will also be Arsenal’s last international competition at Highbury. Next season the top English club will swap its home pitch for the new Emirates stadium.

At the annual conference of the Sports Turf Managers Association (STMA) in Orlando (USA) the stadium field of the Denver Broncos was declared the best field in America. The Desso GrassMaster field, a combination of natural grass and synthetic grass fibres, is a patented system of Desso DLW Sports Systems.

People are hard at work on the new pitch in the Daknamstadium of Sporting Lokeren OVL. The club has opted for a unique system: a natural grass field strengthened with 20 million synthetic grass fibres, the so-called Desso GrassMaster-system. Sporting Lokeren OVL is following the example of top clubs like Feyenoord and Liverpool who play on a DD GrassMaster pitch in their stadiums.

Real’s training centre will be equipped with 6 artificial grass pitches. In conjunction with its Spanish partner Opsa, Desso DLW Sports Systems will build all ten football pitches of the planned training centre for Real Madrid.  This unique project consists of five “DD Challenge Pro” artificial grass pitches, a reinforced natural grass system, the so-called DD GrassMaster system, and four natural grass pitches.
