Act Global and Decor India Deliver World Class Multi-Field Turf Project in Itanagar

The football turf field and adjacent wet system hockey field are the first of their kind in Arunachal Pradesh.

Act Global and partner Décor India have brought two revolutionary synthetic turf fields to the Sanjay Lhaden Sports Academy complex in Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh. Both the football field and hockey field systems offer elite-level playing surfaces that are engineered to the highest international performance and quality standards.

The remote location posed many complex challenges throughout construction from logistics to machinery. With strong local support from partner Décor India alongside Act Global’s wealth of experience gained whilst delivering multiple FIFA Goal projects in similarly remote and demanding regions, the team was able to complete a truly top class multi-field installation.

“This project has been an exciting challenge,” comments regional manager Daniel Clapham. “We couldn’t be more thankful for our partners that make projects like this possible and can’t wait to see the success that these innovative pitches bring to the community”.

FIH Approves Two New Act Global Turf Systems

Two new synthetic turf systems from Act Global have been approved for FIH National play. The sand dressed field hockey pitches are certified to provide a durable surface for athletes that can sustain high levels of use. The strength of the system allows it to also cater to multi-sport use and is the standard for schools and competitive clubs.

According to FIH, better-skilled players now prefer sand dressed/non-filled surfaces for their greater consistency and comfort.

Act Global is also a preferred supplier for FIH.

Act Global is honored to welcome both of these new systems into the FIH Quality Programme for Hockey Turf.
