Artificial turf is a product used in many areas of our lives, and AMG SPORTS is one of the best sports artificial turf manufacturers in China.

That's why we produce the most durable, FIFA-approved high-quality turf for football pitches.


Weather does not affect football field grass. Therefore, these venues are more suitable for sports. AMG SPORTS has developed the ideal soccer system, ensuring

proper ball performance, optimum safety, and energy return for players. Artificial grass soccer fields can be thick. So the turf of the football field is more

durable. On a natural turf floor, the ball will bounce less, but on a synthetic turf floor, the court floor will be smooth. Artificial turf pitches enhance the

effect of football. Our football field artificial turf products are UV resistant. Due to its fibrous structure, it improves sliding properties. The following is a

guide to installing artificial football turf written by our artificial turf experts to help you better understand and install artificial football turf.

Choosing the Right Artificial Turf

When starting to install football field grass, one of the most critical decisions you will make is choosing the right artificial turf for your field. The right choice will

significantly affect the playability, durability, and overall quality of the field. The following step-by-step guide will help you through the process:


Consider Frequency of Use: Before making a selection, consider how often the field will be used. High-traffic areas require more resilient and durable turf to

withstand constant play.


Stake Height Matters: The pile height of your artificial turf determines the look and feel of your field. Shorter stakes are often preferred for soccer fields because they

mimic natural turf and provide better ball roll and player traction.


Choose the Right Type of Yarn: Artificial turf comes in a variety of yarn materials, each with different characteristics. Polyethylene yarns provide a softer feel, while nylon

yarns offer excellent stretch. Make a choice based on the needs of your field.


Evaluate Infill Options: Infill materials contribute to shock absorption, stability, and overall performance in the field. Typically rubber, sand, and organic fillers are used.

Consider the impact protection and comfort they offer the player.

How to Install Artificial Turf on Football Field?



Installing artificial turf is a very complex and meticulous process. The installation of artificial football field turf is divided into four stages. Now let's look at the stages.


1. Soccer field improvement projects begin with facility planning. It should cover funding, requirements, vision, and delivery


2. You must set your budget. You must consider the initial capital cost of the project. However, you should consider ongoing operating costs (including maintenance,

staffing, utilities, supplies, depreciation). The project included factors such as location, scale, project constraints, construction site work, ground conditions, and

surface quality

3. You should choose a contractor. Tender selection of contractors.


4. Installation stage: The installation is divided into five parts


4.1. Earthworks

A Step-by-Step Plan on How to Install Artificial Grass for a Soccer Field

1. Sand the ground (the depth should be 20 cm)


1.2. Abrasive ground


2. If the ground is soft, it should be calendered.


3. Set up shutters around the site, lay the pipes inside the shutters, the diameter of the pipes is 3 cm, and seal the pipes to prevent blockage.


4. The height of laying 19-25mm hard core should be 20cm.


5. Calendar the hard core.


6. Lay 4-12 mm hard core, the height should be 10 cm.


7. Calendar the hard core second times.


8. Lay the geotextile.


9. Lay synthetic grass carpet.


10. Lay 0.2 – 0.63mm minimum %80 oval quartz sand by machine and use SBR granules 1.5-3mm for football fields.


11. Fill the shutters with concrete.


12. When making fences, pipes with a length of 6 meters and a vertical side of 86mm should be used for the corners, and 76mm for other vertical pipes.


12.1 The vertical side 86mm pipe should be used in the fence


13. We used six 9-meter light poles for lighting and installed a 400-watt projector.


14. The 2 goalposts measure 1m x 2.15m x 4m.


15. Finally, we use the net as the top of the field.


For artificial turf to last long, it must have a solid foundation. A solid foundation must be laid. So there is no distortion underground.

Markers and Accessories

Creating a functional and visually appealing soccer field goes beyond laying artificial turf. Proper marking and necessary accessories play a key role

in ensuring a seamless and enjoyable gaming experience. Let’s take a deeper look at the key aspects to consider when marking and fitting artificial football turf:


1. Field Marking


Clear and accurate field markings are essential for players, referees, and spectators to accurately track the game. Utilize paint or pre-cut turf to create markings

for yard lines, goal boxes, center circles, and other important components of a football field.


2. Goalposts and Nets


Installing strong and code-compliant goalposts is critical. Make sure the goalposts are firmly attached to the ground and the crossbar is at the correct height.

Connect a high-quality net to complete the goal setting.


3. Corner Flags


Corner flags mark the corners of the pitch and provide visual cues to players during corner kicks and set kicks. Make sure the corner flags are secure and

easily visible.


4. Midline and Center Circle


Marks a centerline at the center of the site and creates a center circle with a specified radius around the center point. These markers are critical for tee shots and

positioning during play.


5. Penalty Area


Demarcate the penalty area with clear markings at both ends of the court. These markers guide players and referees when taking penalties and set-pieces inside

the penalty area.


6. Players Bench and Rest Area


Place player benches and rest areas along the sidelines, if applicable. Make sure they are comfortable and provide shelter for players, coaches, and staff.


7. Spectator Area


Designated spectator areas, including bleachers or designated seating spaces. Proper spectator areas can enhance the overall game experience and safety.


8. Emergency Equipment


Position necessary emergency equipment, such as first aid kits and AEDs, in easily accessible locations around the site. Safety should always be a top priority.


9. Maintenance of Equipment


Keep maintenance equipment on hand, such as brushes, leaf blowers, and grooming tools, to keep your fields looking their best.


10. Signage and Direction Markings


Incorporate signage and directional markings to guide players, officials, and spectators to different areas of the stadium, including entrances, exits, and restrooms.


11. Aesthetic Elements


Consider adding aesthetic elements to the field, such as team logos or school crests, to enhance its visual appeal and create a sense of identity.


12. Accessibility


Make sure the field is accessible to all, including people with disabilities. Install ramps, accessible seating, and other accommodations as needed.


With careful planning and execution of proper marking and necessary accessories, you can not only create a law-compliant playing field but also enhance the overall

experience for players, officials, and spectators. These elements create a safe, organized, and enjoyable environment for football fans of all ages.

Soccer Field Maintenance Artificial Grass

Artificial turf is the calling card of any venue, but its surface requires maintenance. If you believe the phrase "artificial grass isn't maintenance-free," it won't do you any

good. Taking good care of artificial turf not only lasts for a long time, but also eliminates the causes that can endanger players. Now let's take a look at what

the maintenance ingredients are.


Maintenance of artificial soccer field turf includes:;


- Sanitation and disinfection to ensure the health of players


- Maintenance to prevent faster wear of the field


- Watering to cool down in hot weather


- Maintain and test surface hardness to prevent concussions


- Padding replacement


Hot weather calls for watering carpeted courts 1-2 hours before a game. Artificial turf carpet floors should be scrubbed regularly with an industrial brush. Every

two week apply this process to the entire floor. Importantly, our company recommendation is to add pellets on average every 6 months. In addition, foreign

objects in the field such as small stones, gravel and metal residues need to be frequently collected.
