Santos training ground: synthetic pitch details and completion date | OneFootball

The Santos has started the installation of synthetic turf on field 1 of the CT Rei Pelé. Soccer Grass will be responsible for the turf.

The expected delivery time is 30 to 40 days, depending on weather conditions. In other words, it should be ready by mid-October.

After the completion of the flooring and drainage installation, the field will still be inspected by a laboratory accredited by FIFA, to be certified and classified in the quality pro category.

“With a uniform surface, the Soccer Grass HD Organic Pro system minimizes performance variations that can occur due to weather conditions and the state of the field. It is the same found in the best stadiums in the world. This is especially important for the men's professional team, which needs a consistent environment to train and prepare for competitions,” explained Soccer Grass CEO, Alessandro Oliveira.

“As mentioned, synthetic grass requires less maintenance than natural grass, allowing players to focus more on the game,” he added.

The technology used in the manufacture of synthetic grass promises to incorporate features that help prevent injuries. The system is designed to offer better cushioning and traction.

Who will use the synthetic turf?

Field 1 of CT Rei Pelé is used by the Santos youth categories and the women's team. However, the professional team can also conduct some training sessions there, depending on the technical staff's decision.

“An additional highlight is that the professional team will also train on the new synthetic turf. This will allow the group to better adapt when playing in stadiums with synthetic turf, providing a smoother and more efficient transition during matches,” commented Alessandro Oliveira.

“These improvements will not only benefit the team but can also attract more attention and support to Santos, which will become a reference in the use of Soccer Grass products,” he concluded.
