It is a specialized surface system designed specifically for sports, configured to provide safety, consistent performance, and durability based on the type of sport, the intensity of use, and the facility’s regulatory requirements.

It allows for intensive use throughout the year, reduces maintenance costs compared to natural surfaces, and ensures
consistent surface performance, thereby improving the facility’s operational availability and profitability.

It is essential to evaluate the type of sport, frequency of use, shock absorption, traction, ball performance, applicable regulations,
and the facility’s environment in order to select the most suitable system

It requires regular technical maintenance to preserve the system's performance, such as brushing, cleaning, and preventive inspections, at a lower cost and with less effort than other sports surfaces.

The total cost depends on factors such as the system chosen (height, density, infill), the certification (FIFA Quality or Quality Pro), the
size of the pitch (7-a-side or 11-a-side) and whether civil engineering works are included. Generally speaking, the investment varies according to the technical requirements and the finish of the project, and may be higher for professional facilities or high-end solutions. At Act Sports, we offer tailored quotes that include supply, installation, ground preparation and certification, guaranteeing maximum durability and regulatory compliance.

For professional use or official competitions, the turf must be certified by FIFA under the FIFA Quality (regular use) or FIFA Quality Pro (high performance) standards. These certifications ensure that the system has passed tests for traction, bounce, impact absorption and resistance to intensive use. At Act Sports, we work with approved systems, backed by technical support to comply with UEFA and RFEF regulations and public tenders.

The lifespan of an artificial turf pitch depends on the type of use, the maintenance carried out and the quality of the system installed. Systems featuring state-of-the-art fibres (such as those from Act Sports) are designed to maintain consistent performance in terms of cushioning and traction, and come with varying warranties depending on the model and conditions of use. Regular maintenance and periodic professional cleaning extend the lifespan and help to ensure compliance with sporting standards.

The average installation time varies depending on the scale of the project. For a full-size 11-a-side football pitch, including ground preparation, drainage system, compaction, laying and certification, the estimated time is between 3 and 5 weeks. Act Sports plans each project with a detailed technical schedule and uses its own installation teams throughout Spain, minimising construction times and adapting to the requirements of clubs and local authorities.

Although artificial turf requires less maintenance than natural grass, you should follow a regular maintenance schedule: brushing every two weeks, clearing debris, checking the infill, and carrying out technical inspections every 6–12 months. In addition, it is advisable to inspect the joints and the drainage system and carry out regular disinfection. Act Sports offers maintenance contracts tailored to the pitch’s use (club, school, federation), optimising the system’s longevity and sporting performance.
