Sand-dressed hockey turf pitch for Roeselare Rangers

Since its founding in 2013, Belgian hockey Club Roeselare Rangers has grown to an impressive 600 members. With only one pitch, scheduling training sessions and matches became an increasingly difficult puzzle. To solve this, the club invested in a second pitch to double its capacity. In collaboration with our partner Stadsbader, Act Sports delivered a brand-new sand-dressed hockey turf pitch.

When searching for a partner to bring his project to life, club chairman Michiel Van Eeckhoutte found Act Sports. "There was an immediate connection with their team. They guided us through different options and helped us select the best solution for our club."

"Act Sports understood our challenges from the start and quickly helped us find a suitable solution."

"We opted for a sand-dressed system," says Ronnie Rook, Sales Manager at Act Sports. "This system has a denser fiber structure and requires less sand than a sand-filled system, making it the ideal surface for both training sessions and competitive games. Moreover, it's an important milestone for Act Sports, as it is our first pitch in Belgium on behalf of Beaulieu International Group."

Stadsbader X Act Sports

The project at Roeselare Rangers marks the first time Act Sports and Stadsbader have joined forces. "As a West Flemish company, it’s truly rewarding to support a local, ambitious hockey club with a new pitch," says Jeroen Coudyzer, Site Manager at Stadsbader. "This achievement is a testament to the strength of our partnership with Act Sports, working together as one top team."

"The new hockey pitch at Roeselare Rangers is just the first of many endeavors we’ll complete with Act Sports in the future."

A festive celebration

During the opening ceremony of the new pitch, attended by many players and fans, Michiel Van Eeckhoutte looked back and ahead. "Everything went exactly as I'd hoped. The collaboration with Act Sports and Stadsbader was excellent. We're ready for another great season and many more to come." Roeselare Rangers player Cézanne Van Eeckhoutte echoed this sentiment: "We're all excited to play top-level games on the new pitch—and, of course, to win a lot!"

Borussia Dortmund introduces #Juventa hybrid turf

The legendary football stadium Signal Iduna Park, home of Borussia Dortmund, has been upgraded with the installation of #Juventa hybrid turf. This innovative system combines the best of natural grass and advanced artificial grass; a system with playing properties that perfectly match the wishes of football clubs at the highest level.

Talent development

Together with Hendriks Graszoden, Act Sports developed #Juventa hybrid turf Lay and Play, focusing on talent development and the requirements of modern football. The pitch has a fast, natural ball roll, predictable bounce and gives the players plenty of grip. On top of that, the system reduces the risk of injury thanks to its balanced structure and excellent playing quality. Thanks to the unique Lay and Play concept, the field is installed in three days and immediately ready for matches.

Sustainable solution for stadium pitches

As well as being a safe choice, #Juventa hybrid turf is also a sustainable solution for intensive use in football stadiums. With the patented weaving technology, #Juventa hybrid turf is not only 100% recyclable, but also extremely permeable. In addition, the unique weaving technique creates an ideal microclimate, that stimulates the growth and recovery of the natural grass. As a result, the pitch remains in top condition all year round and suitable for several weekly matches and training sessions, without compromising the quality and safety of the field.

The maintenance is similar to that of a grass pitch, with the added advantage that damaged parts can be replaced. This makes #Juventa hybrid turf a sustainable and cost-efficient solution for football clubs.

‘With #Juventa hybrid turf we have a pitch that can compete with the best in Europe. We are proud that an acclaimed club like Borussia Dortmund has chosen our solution and that our turf now lies in one of the most iconic stadiums in Europe.’

Friso van den Berg

Commercial director Act Sports

Future-proof

By choosing #Juventa hybrid turf, Borussia Dortmund strengthens its position as a pioneer in the field of quality, sustainability and innovation. The installation at Signal Iduna Park is not only a technical improvement, but also a powerful statement for the future of football in which quality and sustainability go hand in hand.

‘With the #Juventa hybrid turf we have cultivated a high-quality hybrid turf. The performance pitch tests, conducted by Raw Stadia and feedback from the players after the first experiences, confirm it. So, we are proud of this opportunity to install the turf, together with Act Sports, in the Borussia Dortmund stadium’.
