It is widely used for football, soccer, baseball, and other sports, making it a versatile option for multi-sport venues.

Additionally, advancements in turf maintenance technologies, including automated irrigation systems and smart sensors, are helping reduce water usage and optimize turf health. The development of eco-friendly and recyclable turf solutions is also gaining momentum, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable sports facilities.
