Find out which football clubs have already chosen Desso artificial grass.
Here you will find an overview of the synthetic grass products for football.
A consistently even field, with no muddy puddles or bare patches, which can be played on in both summer and winter? For many football clubs this is a dream, but it does not have to remain so. Artificial turf can provide the best play characteristics. Every club wants to make optimal use of their training facilities but also to make cancelled fixtures a thing of the past. Bad weather conditions all too often throw a spanner in the works when playing football on a natural grass pitch. It is irritating for the club, but also for players and supporters. By providing an answer to these problems the popularity of artificial turf for football is increasing quickly. For many football clubs, artificial turf is an investment that also gives an effective return.
The practical benefits are indisputable. Footballers who have not yet played on synthetic grass often need some encouragement to be convinced of how enjoyable it is to play on artificial turf. This is understandable given that artificial football pitches often felt hard and unpleasant in the past. However, it is entirely unjustified today as artificial turf systems now comprise extremely skin-friendly materials in terms of both the artificial turf and the rubber infill. Sliding tackles and even ‘sliding on the stomach’ goal celebrations are possible on artificial turf without the slightest scratch. Desso artificial turf feels as natural as grass.
FIFA promotes artificial turf for football pitches all over the world. The international football governing body has devised new quality standards for artificial turf pitches and only suppliers that meet these strict criteria can qualify as a FIFA Preferred Producer.
The standards relate not only to the artificial turf itself, but also to maintenance and the installation. Suppliers are required to carry out extensive inspections during production and once the field has been installed. The service offered by the company also has to meet FIFA guidelines.
Pitches manufactured by a FIFA Preferred Producer offer local authorities and football clubs the added bonus of a high quality product from a reliable supplier.
