Santos received the FIFA Quality PRO Certification on Friday afternoon, accrediting Field 1 of the CT Rei Pelé as one of the fields referenced and certified by the organization. As a result, the field now appears on the FIFA website as an example of excellence in quality standards.
“We brought to CT Rei Pelé the most modern, state-of-the-art technology. All the tests are taken from natural grass fields. Ball bounce, traction, rotation, flatness, and impact absorption are all applied here. The importance of this certification, through a FIFA-accredited laboratory, is that Santos has reached the standards of the world’s great stadiums and arenas,” said Alessandro Oliveira, president of Soccer Grass.
Field 1 at the CT received the Soccer Grass HD Organic Pro system, a synthetic turf that offers greater durability and requires less maintenance. The system also features shock absorption and traction technology that reduces the risk of injuries and ensures a uniform surface.
With more than 30 years of experience in the market, Soccer Grass is responsible for the maintenance of the pitch at Allianz Parque, Palmeiras’ stadium, and Arena Condá, home of Chapecoense.
