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

Global field specialists SIS Pitches have helped set a new world record in returfing the World Cup soccer field at Qatar’s Khalifa International Stadium. An impressive 7,885 m² of turf was installed on the future World Cup field in just 13.5 hours, over 30 minutes faster than the previous world record set by SIS Pitches in 2014.

This marks the first World Cup field completed ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The work was 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 Cup in Russia.

The Khalifa International Stadium is set to open this month. Players will take the field for the first time on the newly installed turf at the recently renovated stadium with over 40,000 seats.

David Ball, SIS Pitches’ Middle East Managing Director, said, “Following some great projects at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, it is excellent for us to be at the forefront of plans for the next tournament.

The 2022 World Cup in Qatar is the first to be held in the Middle East, and we are delighted to be associated with another major sporting event.

We are proud to have beaten our world record, and while we aim to complete our work efficiently, our passion for performance, quality, and consistency is what we always strive for.”
