Just over a week into the 2018 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 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.

Located in sunny Oviedo, Florida is the Pre-K-12th-grade private school, The Master’s Academy. The school has grown over the past 30 years to be highly successful by mentoring young students to strive for excellence. In addition to a robust academics department, the athletics program at TMA is seen as a tool to further its mission of fostering personal growth and leadership within its students.
In 1986 The Master’s Academy was started with just over 200 students and utilized rented spaces for the campus. However, the school was quickly adopted by the community and as the size of the student body began to grow, TMA was able to secure its own land in 1999 and open its Oviedo campus the following year. Renovations and upgrades to the campus have continued throughout the years and have helped the school reach new landmark milestones of development. Notably, in 2014, The Master’s Academy remodeled its baseball field to feature Act Global artificial grass. Act Global’s synthetic baseball turf systems offer a reliable solution to remove bad hops while providing excellent drainage for completely consistent play. Synthetic turf was specifically selected by TMA so that the field could be used year round and so that it would be durable enough to withstand the high-intensity use of multiple teams throughout the day. The artificial grass surface also looks exceptional with TMA’s bright blue colors and bold school logo.
The Master’s Academy Eagles made it to playoffs this season in the 2018 3A FHSAA Baseball Championship. Good luck to the Eagles on their 2019 season!

As the home base and training center for several teams, Voetbalvereniging AD69 was founded in 1969 with roots even earlier. The Netherlands soccer club came from the merging of VV Alten and DVO and was officially recognized by the KNVB as a soccer club on July 1st. Growing to over 500 members and a children’s program that is under constant expansion, the teams of Voetbalvereniging AD69 compete in the 3rd class of KNVB.
Throughout the years the club has continued to renovate its sports park to ensure every facet of its facility is modern and up to date for its athletes. In February, it was announced that Sportpark Zuid’s 3 fields would be resurfaced to high-quality artificial grass with the reputation to meet strict international standards. Beginning in May, work was commenced on to install 3 bocce fields with Xtreme Turf, outfit field 2 and the goal areas on field 3 with Xtreme Grass hybrid technology, and create a highly durable multipurpose with Xtreme Turf.
Voetbalvereniging AD69’s Sportpark Zuid selected both Xtreme Turf and Xtreme Grass systems from Act Global for the products’ emphasis on player safety and performance. The new surfaces at the sports park will service players aging from small children to young adult, making it vital for a natural interaction between the players and the synthetic turf.
The final step in this installation will be applying necessary labels to the fields.

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. The park selected a sand-dressed synthetic turf system with proven performance to aid in natural football playing characteristics and accommodate the varying needs of players that differ in age and skill level.
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.
