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.
David Ball, SIS Pitches’ Middle-East Managing Director, said: “On the back of some great projects at the 2018 World Football Cup Russia, it is excellent for us to be at the forefront of plans for the next tournament.
“The World Cup in Qatar 2022 is the first to be held in the Middle East, and we are delighted to be associated with another big sporting event”.
“We are proud to have beaten our world record, and whilst we look to complete our work efficiently, our passion for performance, quality and consistency is what we always strive for”.
