A new FieldTurf Tarkett synthetic turf football field from FC Barcelona’s Sports City has been certified by FIFA with its quality distinctive: FIFA 2 Star. The field, with more than 8,000 squaremeters, was installed with the FieldTurf Optimum 63 Patented in 2013.
One of the leading products of the synthetic turf market, with 63 Millimeters height, has been installed on a natural base, with sewn seams and a patented mixture of silica sand and cryogenic rubber infill. This system, the same one that has been installed in the other three FieldTurf fields in the Sports City of FC Barcelona, has overcome the requirements of the FIFA 2 Star certification.
With this quality mark, FIFA wants to guarantee that the new field offers biomechanical performance criteria, such as vertical ball rebound, ball roll, shock absorption, deformation, and rotational resistance. Moreover, the tests confirm that the surface ensures great safety for players, by reducing the risk of injuries.
This is one of the four synthetic turf fields installed by FieldTurf in the Sports City complex of FC Barcelona (Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper) as Official Sports Surfaces Supplier of the Club. Two of them, more than 19,000 squaremeters, were installed in 2012. The other two fields installed in 2013, including this last F-11 field certified by FIFA, exceeding 12,500 squaremeters. Therefore, we’re talking about nearly 32,000 squaremeters of high performance synthetic turf installed in the training center. Add to this the VIP maintenance that FieldTurf is regularly applying on these fields, it can be assumed that according to a statement of the company this important project is positioned in the global elite of sports synthetic turf surfaces.
