Today kicked off the quarterfinals of the biggest competition in soccer with 8 teams still in the running to be the 2018 champions. This competition draws in the audience of about half the world’s population and is consistently ranked in the top watched sporting events. The 32 teams that started in the tournament spent the past 4 years preparing and fighting for their spot, and over the past few weeks, the competition has dwindled to 8. Each of these teams represents their counties from around the world and although they are currently rivals competing for the renowned title, they are united by their love for the game.
Act Global celebrates athletes and the dedication they have for their sports. We aim to empower players and teams to continue to propel forward and grow their sport. We do this by equipping teams with synthetic turf surfaces that are built to surpass strict international benchmarks for safety, functionality, and performance. Act Global’s first priority in engineering artificial grass systems is with the athletes and the needs they have for a sports field. Today we celebrate soccer players around the world by showcasing some of our favorite international football fields that have helped players of all ages and skill levels play harder and longer.
Germany:
Recently this 92-year old German soccer club, SSV Rhade, constructed this new synthetic turf field at their practice facility.
Kuwait:
In 2017 the Al Islah community in Kuwait celebrated the opening of three community football fields that have helped to expand the neighborhood’s opportunity to participate in both recreational and competitive play.
Canada:
This Canadian football pitch was installed in 2014 by our partner Carpell Surfaces for a university in St. Hyacinthe, Quebec. Upon installation, the field was certified as FIFA quality, recognizing the quality of the field.
Dominican Republic:
This installation was a complete revamp of the previous field. SM Sport helped transform the previously decrepit sports space into a world-class field for the community.
Act Global will continue to celebrate all athletes around the world and innovate superior fields for their benefit.

Just over a week into the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and competition is fierce between each of the countries’ national teams. This morning was kicked off with a match between Brazil and Costa Rica where Brazil secured the win in the 90th minute of the game. Brazil’s next match will be Wednesday, June 25th against Serbia.
Leading up to the 2018 World Cup, the Brazillian National Team has trained at their home facility, Granja Comary (CBF). The training center was completely revamped in 2014 to feature state of the art amenities for the athletes and offer superior training throughout their offseason. Part of the renovations to the center included the installation of a FIFA 2-star rated artificial grass field from Act Global.
Act Global is honored to have such an esteemed team practice on our Xtreme Turf system. Xtreme Turf is utilized around the world in facilities ranging from elite professional stadiums to local community-centric training centers. Act Global’s commitment to engineering synthetic turf systems that meet natural grass benchmarks gives athletes a reliable sports surface that allows them to transition between different field surfaces without interference.
Artificial grass also allows players and teams to practice harder in the offseason so that they can better prepare for competition. With no limitation on the playability hours of the field, the Brazillian National Team has no limitation on how it practices in preparing for worldwide competitions.
Good luck to each of the teams of this year’s competition, we look forward to continuing watching the gathering of so many world-class athletes.

KS Pradniczanka
The local Polish football club KS Pradniczanka dates back to the early 1900’s. Since its beginnings, the club has continued to grow to be a predominate staple in the Kraków community. As part of a strategy to build a 21st-century sports park, KS Pradniczanka has designed a facility that utilizes the best resources for its teams. Athletes of the new park will have a full-sized artificial grass pitch that is engineered with strict quality controls that allow the turf system to perform like natural grass while extending the life of the field.
Polish No-Infill Pitch
Coming September 2018 is Act Global’s first installation of our no-infill system to Poland. The technology of Xtreme Turf NFF makes this system perfect for high-intensity play. The high-density artificial grass product meets FIFA standards for ball roll, bounce, shock absorption, and rotational resistance for enhanced player performance that allows teams to train harder.
Silesia Sports Park
A third Polish football facility has selected Act Global’s Xtreme Turf to be installed in summer 2018. This sports park is renovating its infrastructure to better serve local teams and individuals who want access to a premium pitch for practice and competitive play.

Sportpark Oranje is a local Netherlands football facility that hosts gameplay for several teams in the area. Of these, VV Oranje Nassau Roden (ONR) comprises 5 senior teams, 14 youth teams, and 3 G-teams that utilize the fields of Sportpark Oranje. From these teams, a lasting culture of sportsmanship and love for the game has been created at the park. Each player who competes at Sportpark Oranje is driven by the pursuit to develop their own skills, as well as the skills of their peers, and continue to progress the growth of competition in their community.
Our partner, Hofmeier, ensuring Sportpark Oranje’s new field is installed perfectly.
To continue to support the high level of play at the facility, Sportpark Oranje upgraded to an artificial grass pitch manufactured by Act Global.

This project was possible through the work of our international partner, Hofmeier. The team is dedicated to providing world-class fields with superior installation and customer service.
