Field Feature Friday: Sangay Lhaden Sports Academy

by | Feb 16, 2018

This week Itanagar, India celebrated the opening of the opening of the city’s first synthetic turf pitch at Sangay Lhaden Sports Academy.  The inaugural event gathered together Arunachal Pradesh Chief minister Pema Khandu, Sports Parliamentary Secretary Nyamar Karbak, legislator colleagues and officials from the sports department, and the Arunachal Junior (U-19) football team to the state’s capital to commemorate this stride to further advance football within the community.  After congratulating the football team for representing the state in the Junior National Football Championship earlier this year, the artificial grass field was utilized for the first time in an inaugural friendly between CM XI and the Arunachal Football Association.

The new artificial grass field stands beautifully, nestled in between the surrounding landscape’s trees and mountains. Itanagar’s humid, subtropic climate can often cause over 20 rainy days per month from April to September, making it difficult for football teams to practice outdoors.  Act Global’s Xtreme Turf is durable through all weather conditions and allows athletes to get back on the field quicker after a storm- dramatically increasing the ability to play.  The artificial grass field now stands as a prominent facet of the community after the plan for the field was approved back in 2011.

This installation would not have been possible without our exclusive partner, Decor India.  The team from Decor India expertly installed the Act Global Xtreme Turf for Sangay Lhaden Sports Academy so that athletes will have access to a field that will allow them to lay longer and harder.
