Fifa

FIFA has recognized the benifits of artificial grass. The FIFA Quality Concept is a rigorous test programme for artificial grass, whereby successful manufacturers are able to enter into a licensing programme for the use of the FIFA Recommended Mark.

Only artificial grass of the best quality with the highest technical standards are able to gain a FIFA Recommended endorsement. The FIFA Recommended Mark assures that only those surfaces, specifically suited to top-flight football, are qualified for this mark.

Artificial surfaces are submitted to laboratory tests and field tests, within three months after installation of the pitch.

A FIFA certificate issued after successful testing specifies also the artificial turf quality and the licenced pitches. Lano Sports obtained the "FIFA-Recommended" certificate thanks to the Profoot Premier quality, which was used for the football pitch Burjasot in Valencia, Spain. The strict demands of the FIFA Quality Concept are guaranteed by this very certificate.
