Why limit yourself when you can find the right balance that enables more sport? The FIFA/FIH DualSport Pitch is the multifaceted choice for schools, clubs, municipalities and sports facilities to maximise playing hours, optimise investments and meet the demands of more than one sport.
Combining the performance requirements of football and hockey in one surface, DualSport pitches balance budget and space constraints with high-performance sport.
FIFA and FIH DualSport pitches provide a practical and sustainable solution for modern sports infrastructure, making better use of available space and delivering greater value from limited budgets.
Based on guidelines developed jointly by FIFA and the International Hockey Federation (FIH), these artificial turf systems allow football and hockey to be played on the same pitch without compromising safety, comfort or playing quality.
Independently testable performance, compliant system solutions and long-lasting turf technology give schools, clubs and communities more opportunities to play, with confidence in every layer.
One pitch. Two sports. More athletes. More play.
Pile length, density, yarn and infill – football and hockey place different demands on a playing surface. The DualSport Pitch System balances these requirements and meets performance criteria stated by FIFA and the FIH for:
- Ball behaviour
- Player comfort
- Surface stability
- Rotational resistance
- Shock absorption
- Long-term durability
Designed with grassroots, school, university and community-level sport in mind, DualSport pitches help increase participation without compromising quality.
LigaGrass Synergy R is one of the artificial turf systems suitable for DualSport applications. Like all Polytan DualSport systems, it follows a coordinated system structure designed to combine the playing requirements of football and hockey on one surface.
A dense fibre construction with a typical pile height of 30–45 mm, a 15 mm shockpad and a water-draining sub-base support controlled ball roll, player comfort and long-term surface stability. Depending on the required performance profile, the system can be configured as sand-dressed or non-filled.
Example of system for DualSports from bottom to top:
- Water-draining sub-base
- Elastic Layer 15
- ProPlay Pad 15-215, 15 mm
- Artificial turf with smooth and textured PE fibres
- Typical pile height: 30–45 mm
- Sand-dressed configuration
From year-round use in almost any weather to lower maintenance needs, artificial turf already gives schools, universities, clubs and communities more freedom to keep sport moving.
But for organisations working with limited space or tight budgets, the real advantage lies in doing more with one pitch.
That is where our DualSport facilities come in. Designed for both football and hockey, they combine a high-performance artificial turf system, specialised shockpad technology, optimised drainage, durable line marking solutions and sustainable construction approaches.
Together, these elements create a surface capable of delivering reliable performance, player comfort and exceptional durability season after season.
