WHY FOOTBALL TURFS

Benefits
Unaffected by weather and resistant to harsh climatic conditions
(rain, snow, drought, frost etc.).
Ideal for covered stadia or stadia where steep stands cast a great
deal of shade (artificial turf does not need sunlight).
Easy maintenance and low maintenance costs.
Fewer playing fields required, because it has greater longevity.
A variety of potential uses: training, matches and cultural events
can be held on the same turf.
Improved playing conditions, which remain constant all year round.

Regional Structures in consultation with the
provincial department responsible for sport

Development trust
• The SAFA Infrastructure Development Trust (‘IDT’) will
initially be endowed with the balance of the funds which
the 2010 FIFA World Cup Organising Committee South
Africa (‘Organising Committee’) received from the
National Lotteries Board
• These funds will be used to complete the artificial turf
construction programme initiated by the Organising
Committee
• In addition the IDT will seek to procure additional funding
for additional infrastructure projects which will spur the
development of football in South Africa

“Sport has the power to change the
world. It has the power to inspire. It
has the power to unite the people in a
way that little else does. Sport can
awaken hope where there was
previously only despair.”
