FIFA QUALITY PROGRAMME

FIFA developed a testing scheme for artificial surfaces that specifically focuses on the needs of football players. Only artificial turf playing surfaces that have been tested in accordance with the FIFA Quality Programme test criteria in the laboratory and on the pitch can be called football turf. This name means that those systems are specifically designed to meet the requirements necessary for football in terms of playing performance, safety, durability and quality assurance. Football turf pitches that meet the FIFA Quality Programme requirements are awarded either the FIFA QUALITY or the FIFA QUALITY PRO mark:

FIFA QUALITY PRO

FIFA QUALITY PRO

Pitches with the FIFA QUALITY PRO mark are specifically tested to mimic the high performance and safety requirements for professional football for a typical usage of up to 20 playing hours per week. There are stricter requirements for international match pitches (e.g. the size of the pitch, no logos)

FIFA QUALITY

Combining a stringent regime of durability, resistance, safety and performance tests, pitches that are awarded the FIFA QUALITY mark fullfil the specific requirements for recreational, community and municipal football, with typically 40-60 playing hours per week
