SPORTS PITCHES
Manchester City FC, Olympique Marseille, Real Valladolid, and PSV, Pure PT™ has demonstrated it is trusted at the elite level. The surface is also installed at the Ergilio Hato Stadium in Curaçao, where the Caribbeans became the smallest nation to reach a FIFA World Cup.
Pure PT™ enables predictable lifecycle planning through reduced maintenance requirements, fewer replacement cycles, and lower material dependency. The simplified maintenance and consistent surface behaviour is optimal for high-use, multi-sport environments, such as schools and community leisure facilities.
Beyond on-field performance, the system is engineered to address key environmental challenges by eliminating infill-related microplastic release, lowering transport and maintenance emissions, and simplifying endof-life recycling. The absence of infill also reduces the cost of ownership across installation, operation and end-of-life stages.
Years of research and development at the Center for Turf Innovation included over 500,000 Lisport cycles, more than 50 development cycles,
and benchmarking against 145 stadium-quality natural grass pitches, with player testing and feedback shaping every decision.
The unique fibre technology ensures a soft yet stable surface, optimising ball roll, grip, and player movement. With its highdensity fibres and advanced yarn composition, TenCate’ s Pure PT™ guarantees longlasting durability while requiring minimal maintenance. This makes it a cost-effective and environmentally responsible choice for football clubs and sports facilities.
