Football courts

Football fields are considered among the most important sports facilities worldwide, providing the ideal environment for playing this popular sport. One of the key factors affecting the quality of a football field and players’ performance is the turf covering the playing surface.

In this context, Goal Sport offers outstanding services as one of the leading companies in the construction of sports fields.

In this article, we explore why artificial turf is used in football fields and highlight the key advantages of artificial turf in general.

Why is Artificial Turf Used in Football Fields?

Artificial turf has become widely used in football fields and sports facilities for several reasons:

Durable Materials: Artificial turf is manufactured from polypropylene, polyethylene, and other materials that give it its unique properties and advantages.
Player Safety: Modern artificial turf is designed to be safe and secure for athletes.
Weather Resistance: The turf is heavy-duty and can withstand all weather conditions.
Aesthetic Appeal & Injury Prevention: It enhances the visual appeal of the field while reducing impacts and injuries for players.
Infill Material: Turf fields are legally filled with rubber (commonly known as crumb rubber), a type of plastic material that protects the turf from high temperatures and cushions players against shocks.
Silica Sand Layer: A layer of silica sand is added on top of the turf for extra safety.
Optimal Thickness: Football turf is typically at least 5 cm thick to withstand heavy pressure, consecutive matches, and continuous use.

For these reasons, artificial turf is the most popular choice for football fields and other sports facilities. Goal Sport, as one of the leading sports field construction companies, has distinguished itself by building numerous high-quality sports fields.
