World Record: 2022 Qatar World Cup Pitch Returfed by SIS Pitches.

Global pitch specialists SIS Pitches have helped to set a new world record in returfing the world cup football pitch at Qatar’s Khalifa International Stadium.

An impressive 7,885m2 of turf was installed at the future world cup pitch, in just 13.5 hours, up by over 30 minutes from the previous world record set by SIS Pitches in 2014.

This marks the first world cup pitch completed ahead of the 2022 World Football Cup in Qatar. The work has been carried out alongside local Qatar partners Al Nakheel, who provided support staff and equipment. This work was also completed in the presence of the clients Aspire Zone Foundation and the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy.

SIS Pitches has continued its presence on the world stage after announcing deals to complete work at six of the twelve stadiums for the 2018 World Football Cup in Russia.

The Khalifa International Stadium is set to open this month. Players will take to the new turf for the first time in the newly renovated 40,000-plus-seater stadium.
