Field Feature Friday: Estadio Municipal El Porvenir

Things are looking to the future in Peru! Act Global Partner Ferrol Sport installed an Act Global Xtreme Turf field for Estadio Municipal El Porvenir. The brand new FIFA qualified facility will be used for training for the Federation of Soccer of Peru!

The purpose of the Peruvian Federation of Football is to transform soccer in Peru and turn it into an engine of social and sports change. Their goal is to return the love and passion of the sport to the 30 million Peruvians who live in the country.

As part of their plan to professionalize management and include the involvement and support of clubs and interest groups across the country, the FPF made the decision to bring on the Act Global team to tailor their sports needs. The turf used was the Xtreme Turf D60-360, a product engineered for player safety and performance and designed specifically for soccer.

Act Global and Ferrol Sport are proud of the work done for the Federation of Soccer of Peru! We are excited that soccer players around the area will get to use the facility to better their skills and build comradery while minimizing injury. The future’s looking bright and we are so glad to be apart of it!

Play More: A Pillar, Not A Slogan

Play More: A Pillar, Not A Slogan

It’s not anything new that children love to play. There’s something about getting to run around outside or playing a sport with friends that builds character. While it may be true as children get older their energy begins to slow, it’s safe to say their passion for competing will never go away.

Act Global thrives on providing new ways for children to go outside and be active. Studies show that children who play more outdoors are physically healthier, have better motor skills due to repetitive practice, and have stronger bones and muscles. Our synthetic turf fields help kids play for more hours of the day during any kind of weather or climate at any point of the year.

Spring has Sprung!

Spring has Sprung!

Bring out the swimsuits, paddle boards, and ice cream trucks! Happy first day of spring! It’s time to sit back, relax and enjoy these next few months. But what does this time of year mean for your spring sports team?

The spring can affect training schedules due to the increase of variable weather and rainfall, resulting in less playing time for your players. Synthetic turf fields mitigate this and allow teams to use the field for more hours of the day and more days of the week due to the decrease in canceled practices, games, and tournaments.

Let’s take a look at the numbers: synthetic turf fields can be utilized for 3,000 hours per year without rest in comparison to natural grass fields which can only be used for approximately 680 hours per year. The fields do not degrade during any season and in result give players a more stable playing surface, especially during the springtime. From a city hosting perspective, this means an increase in revenue as well since tournaments no longer have to be canceled for the conservation of a natural grass field.

So, let’s get down to business. The springtime is full of joy and sports. It is also packed in weather changes and game cancellations. Synthetic turf fields resolve this issue completely and allow the spring to carry on with its assortment of sports. You shouldn’t have to cancel precious training or game time for your team just because Mother Nature doesn’t want to get with the program!
