Polytan – LigaTurf Cross GT zero at Camp de Futbol Torredembarra

Spain's First CO2-Neutral Football Turf

Spanish football is among the best the world has to offer. One of the key pillars of the success of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, San Sebastian, and all the other outstanding clubs in La Liga is consistent youth development within their own country. Football academies for young talents have become a natural standard, just like the Camp de Futbol Torredembarra. In August 2023, the aging synthetic turf in the Catalonian city was removed and replaced with our LigaTurf Cross GT zero, the first CO2-neutral football turf for elite and recreational sports. It combines the challenges of environmental sustainability with climate protection requirements without compromising the durability or performance of the surface. Our LigaTurf Cross GT zero is a consistent evolution of the successful LigaTurf Cross product line, which has revolutionized football turf since its introduction in 2016. It is considered a "classic" in Polytan's portfolio. Reasons for its success include its natural grass-like appearance, excellent playability, and ease of maintenance.The LigaTurf Cross GT zero was used at Camp de Futbol Torredembarra as Spain's first CO2-neutral football turf. It demonstrates that environmental compatibility and elite sports are not mutually exclusive but can ideally complement each other. Indeed, this turf provides a foundation that ensures La Liga can offer the best possible support for young football talents.
