Since 1946, CSV Apeldoorn has been representing the Netherlands regional center of Apeldoorn in amateur football. The club has grown in size and skill since its inception and now encompasses multiple youth, adolescent, and competitive teams. CSV Apeldoorn’s top team competes in the second-highest league of football in the country.
This summer the club renovated a field within its sportpark to a superior playing surface from Act Global. The Xtreme Turf DX artificial grass system used for the club is incredibly comfortable for athletes and offers consistent play. This is the second field within the Sportpark to feature the DX system, and Act Global was humbled to be selected for another playing surface within the club. We are honored to be trusted to keep CSV Apeldoorn’s athletes safe and cannot wait to watch the continued growth of the club.
The field was completed earlier this month and was ready for immediate use.

FC UTA Arad, also known as The Old Lady, has roots dating back over 70 years of almost instant success including two championship titles. The team stayed competitive throughout the country for several years before entering a sharp decline that led to its disbanding in 2014. Several key individuals, including a former player, did not accept that this was the end for UTA Arad and started a new team under the name UTA Bătrâna Doamnă. The team has fought its way to regain support from the community and fans after restarting from the 2014 ashes of the original team. In just a few years the new club had risen in rankings from Liga IV (the fourth level within the Romanian football system) to Liga II. Last year the team recovered the name FC UTA Arad as the official and legal successor of the original team.
UTA Arad’s current home ground is the recently renovated Motorul Stadium. This year the local stadium was expanded to double the seating capacity and the natural grass field was replaced with a world-class synthetic turf system. The artificial grass surface features a monofilament, diamond-shaped fiber that is specialized to support soccer players. The carefully crafted Xtreme Turf field is fast but firm so that athletes can move quickly and safely without fear excess fatigue that can lead to injuries of the lower extremities.
UTA Arad currently ranks 3rd within Liga II and has a stacked fall season of matches.

The new synthetic grass field installed by The KYA Group offers a professional level sports system to Southern California Schools.
Austin, TX- This summer, Citrus College elected to revitalize its main multipurpose field with leading synthetic turf technology. The KYA Group expertly installed Xtreme Turf before practice for the 2018 season began.
As a replacement for the outdated field, this turf system was selected for its reputation for safety and strength. The Citrus College Stadium has a long history of being used as a filming destination, therefore the field must remain camera-ready throughout the year. Xtreme Turf combines science with aesthetics to be safe for athletes, durable against damage, and beautiful for fans.
Citrus College’s new turf offers a bright and bold surface solution for a field that is utilized by multiple sports teams. The vivid markings make it easy for players and fans to distinguish their respective field lines. Finished off with a bold blue and orange border, the synthetic turf field rests beautifully in front of the college’s mountainous surroundings.
“The field couldn’t look better,” comments KYA Regional Director Andrea Ivey while visiting the site after completion. “We can’t wait to get players on the field so they can experience the turf themselves- we know the coaches are excited for game day.”

It’s been a long summer watching training camps and preseason games that have been just a tease of the glory of football season. This weekend it is finally coming to an end as each of the 32 professional teams return to the field, ready to fight with full force for their fans. Here are the highlights for a few of our favorite teams going into Week 1:
New Orleans Saints
The Saints are the NFL’s favorite for the first week of the season. With a fully stacked offense and powerful defense, the Saints are a top organization in the NFC. Not only are they expected to hold down their home turf this weekend against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but are favored with the largest point spread of any Week 1 game.
Minnesota Vikings
Joining the Vikings this season comes with pressure, and this pressure is almost all condensed to the team’s quarterback. After a great 2017 season that ended just short of earning a spot in the Superbowl, the Vikings went into offseason searching for the missing link that could propel them to the Vince Lombardi Trophy. They believe they found this link in quarterback Kirk Cousins who since March earlier this year has had a mindset of winning. Fans are excited to see Cousins in full game mode, hopefully leading the Vikings to a victorious season.
The Vikings are staying home for week 1 where fans will have the opportunity to fill up U.S. Back Stadium to watch Cousins’ Viking debut in person.
New York Jets
Sam Darnold is a new hope of the New York Jets after a less than perfect 2017 season. 2018 has been referred to as the season of Sam after 21-year-old old, 3rd round draft pick earned his title as starting quarterback. Darnold is also the youngest quarterback in NFL history to ever start in this position in the first week.
The team will be hitting the road for their first official game where they will face off against the Detriot Lions on Monday, September 10th.
New York Giants
The New York Giants also have an exceptional rookie to debut this season: Saquon Barkley. The former Penn State running back has already swooned fans throughout his somewhat limited preseason and this weekend will be the first step in winning their hearts.
This Sunday, September 9 the Giants will be playing the Jacksonville Jaguars at Metlife Stadium.
We are honored to have each of these teams call Act Global’s brand of turf their home field. the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, U.S. Bank Stadium, and Metlife Stadium each feature Act Global’s premier NFL synthetic turf. As the most trusted surface in the NFL, our artificial grass allows each of the phenomenal athletes playing at the professional level to be at their best every game. We stress safety and stability so that teams can focus on plays and performance.
