A Guide to Being World-Class

On a Tuesday evening in the early summer of 2015, the Women’s FIFA World Cup was in full competition with a semi-final match of the United States against Germany. The teams came together at Montreal’s Olympic stadium and drew in a crowd of 51,176 people. Predictions were split on the outcome, each team has an exceptional track-record and are filled with some of the world’s most elite players.

While the best athletes from around the world relied on the performance of the synthetic turf and the eyes of fans back home were watching, it was crucial for the pitch to be perfect.

Precision and a dedication to quality and flawlessness set Act Global synthetic turf systems apart. A singular focus on unparalleled leadership in each step from manufacturing to the installation of our artificial turf is the Act Global commitment. In addition to our own dedication to excellence, Act Global selects only the most highly skilled and devoted installation partners.  Installation of this stadium would not have been possible without our Canadian Partner, Carpell Surfaces.
