One of our dedicated sales reps recently traveled to Siloam Springs, Arkansas to check up on a past installation at the city’s local high school. The school is situated at the foothill of the Ozark Mountains and located in a growing town on the Arkansas border that maintains its small-town charm.
In 2016 the Siloam Springs Panthers advanced to 6A status within the state’s 6A West Conference. As part of the state’s second-largest conference, Siloam Springs requires a highly durable sports surface that could stand up to the high use of the multiple teams that utilize the field for practice and play. The Panthers chose Act Global synthetic turf for its proven durability and safety to enhance the performance of these growing athletes. This is proven with over 100 laboratory tests and natural grass benchmarks to ensure each field of Act Global offers protection to athletes so that they can play at their peak.

Across the world, sports are a uniting factor that gathers fans to cheer on their favorite team. Whether its a Friday night routing for the local high school, an entire Saturday spent away at a tournament, or a Sunday surrounded by thousands of others screaming for their team, fans gather in sports venues and stadiums. And everything within the stadium-the architecture down to the field- must personify the heart of the team itself.
The field is a team’s stage. It’s where they play and perform, where they make records and win for their fans. Those who aren’t there in person watch games televised. So as competition gets more fierce and the demand for high-quality playing surfaces that can withstand intense play at all levels increases, so too does the demand for that same technically-advanced system to look and feel natural. Today’s age of synthetic turf demands more not only in terms of quality and safety but also in aesthetic value then first generations of artificial grass of the 1960’s and 1970’s. Because of this, synthetic turf has become a key player in fields for most of the professional sports franchises and associations.
Act Global engineers complete artificial grass solutions that both perform exceptionally well underneath player’s feet and look exceptional to fans. Act Global’s synthetic turf is benchmarked against top natural grass fields in football, baseball, and American football to ensure every detail of the turf matches up to the best natural grass fields with the additional advantages of increased frequency of usage, extra revenue generation, safety, longer playing sessions, and fewer canceled games.

The FIFA Certified synthetic turf pitch provides an elite playing surface for the PFF National Training Centre within the Philippines.
Act Global has been awarded the FIFA Quality Pro certification for the San Lazaro Leisure complex in Cavite City, near Manila, Philippines. As the country’s first FIFA Goal project, the pitch transformed a previously unused site into a world-class field, meeting the highest international performance and quality standards for elite level football.
The certification is a culmination of efforts that began at the groundbreaking of the facility three years ago. Despite several striking engineering challenges due to topographical and geotechnical issues, our specialist engineer Mr. Bert Hammes utilized his years of experience to offer a design solution that created a stable, permeable base on this challenging site. Previously, the area had been an uncontrolled dumping site for the past ten years and lacked the required stability for sub-base construction. The addition of underground water flows and structures were truly challenging. The site is envisioned to become the training center of the national teams as well as host international competition, friendly matches, and other related events.
“We are delighted to achieve this Quality Pro certificate. FIFA Goal projects are a true challenge in terms of design, civil engineering, installation, and maintenance training, and it is a testament to our engineers and installers that the field has been so well received by the Philippines Football Federation- and most importantly the players,” comments regional manager Daniel Clapham. “It is a privilege to be a part of the Philippine initiative to accelerate the growth of the sport and supply the country with a synthetic turf field that spearheads safety, durability, and performance.”
The turf, using a Mattex fiber manufactured at Act Global’s Asian production facility, offers the Philippine Football Federation a high-performance surface with proven durability. Full maintenance training was given to the local groundskeeping staff by our dedicated installation team to ensure the players will reap the full benefits of the top quality field maintenance equipment supplied by Act Global as part of their FIFA Goal project.
According to feedback from the Philippines Football Federation, there is little doubt that this installation is the paramount football turf field in the country.
