Greenfields to install XtraGrass hybrid fields at PSV

GreenFields, the innovative market leader in artificial turf systems, and PSV Eindhoven, are set to install XtraGrass hybrid sports systems at the PSV training complex 'De Herdgang' in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.

The first field to be installed is a training pitch for Young PSV, to replace the present natural grass field. The new football pitch is a combination of natural grass and a woven artificial turf backing. This hybrid sports system has many advantages. The feeling of playing on grass and the appearance are the same as a natural grass field. Also, this combination of a woven backing with artificial turf fibres and natural grass means that the teams can train for as much as 20 hours longer a week on the field. The field can be used more intensively in varying weather circumstances compared to a field with all natural grass.

The training field for the champions of the Dutch Premier League (Eredivisie) shall also be installed with GreenField's hybrid sports system XtraGrass. The installation of two hybrid fields and a newly, woven GreenFields MX artificial turf field contributes to completing the training complex. All fields have the newest technology and enable the teams to train more intensively.

Marcel Brands, PSV's technical manager and the person boosting the project said, “PSV believes in the future of hybrid football pitches and wants to invest in these. Since this year GreenFields is an official supplier of PSV. The general product portfolio and the innovative methods used by GreenFields are a perfect match with our plans for the future of our training complex.” (GK)
