The Hockey World Cup will be held in The Hague, the Netherlands, in June 2014 and players and coaches are already so thrilled, just check #celebratehockey on Twitter. Two official stadiums will have a new innovative grass system delivered by artificial turf developer TenCate and field producer GreenFields. This innovative GreenFields® TX system guarantees a fast and excited game, and the most evident improvement compared to existing artificial grass fields is the stable ball roll.
To achieve this effect, high grade TenCate Tapeslide™ LSR fibers were used in the GreenFields® TX system. This grass system offers not only optimum ball performance but also maximum shock absorption, while optimally protecting the backs, knees and joints of field hockey players.
Many professional players have already had a chance to play a hockey game on the GreenFields® TX pitch because there are already 11 hockey clubs in the Netherlands, 1 in Germany and soon 1 in Australia that use this new system. It looks like it will be an exciting Hockey World Cup in 2014!
TenCate is the largest producer of artificial grass fibers in the world and is known for high-tech innovations. GreenFields is know for its sustainable sports solutions. The infographic below summarizes the process of creating the artificial grass for the 2014 Hockey World Cup stadium.
