Football Turf – FIFA Quality Standards
Our football turf systems are designed to meet FIFA Quality Programme standards, ensuring consistent ball roll, shock absorption, and player comfort across all conditions.
Football FAQS
Sportsplay offers a range of FIFA approved and accredited artificial turf systems, including 3G and 4G surfaces, designed for high-performance football environments. Whether for schools, clubs, or professional facilities, our systems are engineered to meet international standards for safety, durability and playability.
From training grounds to full size pitches, Sportsplay delivers surfaces that replicate the performance of natural grass while providing the consistency, resilience and all-weather usability required in modern sport. Each system can be specified to meet project requirements and undergoes testing to ensure compliance with FIFA Quality and FIFA Quality Pro standards.

We handle everything from construction /excavation to technical installation, ensuring a hassle free process.
-
3G artificial turf uses a combination of longer fibres with sand and rubber infill, providing a realistic playing surface similar to natural grass. 4G turf is a newer system with little to no rubber infill, offering a cleaner, lower-maintenance surface while still maintaining performance for football and multi-sport use.

Systems can be designed to meet project requirements, offering a cleaner, lower-odour and more sustainable football surface without compromising on playability.
We offer a range of infill options to suit your project:
