As football continues to gain popularity around the world, more and more government agencies, sports organizations and developers have begun to invest resources to build standardized 11-a-side football fields. It is not only to meet the needs of the game, but also an important measure to connect with the national fitness, youth training system and professional competitions. In addition to a flat lawn, a high-quality football field also requires a systematic construction of supporting fences, protection, lighting and spectator facilities. The following is a detailed material description and structural division:

Site foundation and foundation leveling materials

The first step in site construction is foundation treatment. The original land needs to be cleaned and leveled, and then basic materials such as coarse sand, gravel or crushed lime are laid, and compacted by vibrating compaction equipment. This step is crucial and determines the flatness and stability of the later lawn laying, laying a solid foundation for the long-term use of the football field.

Choice of artificial turf or natural turf

The turf is the core component of the football field. Natural turf or artificial turf can be selected according to budget and maintenance requirements. The PE/PP artificial turf provided by Ulysse has stable needle pitch, weight and density. The production process complies with FIFA international standards. It has good wear resistance, drainage and elasticity, and is suitable for long-term high-frequency use.

Fence system and support structure

In order to prevent the football from flying out of the field and protect the safety of the audience, a high-strength fence system needs to be installed around the field. The fence is made of PE material or galvanized steel wire mesh, fixed with hot-dip galvanized or spray-coated support rods, corrosion-resistant, windproof, and able to withstand strong impact.

Lighting system design

The lighting system is particularly important at night or when there is insufficient light. We provide customers with high-brightness, energy-saving 200W LED lamps, installed on light towers or columns, to ensure uniform lighting throughout the field without blind spots. Not only meet the needs of the game, but also suitable for training and entertainment purposes.

Stands and audience seating facilities

A professional football field cannot lack spectator seats. Fixed or removable stands can be installed according to the size of the venue, and high-strength plastic seats provided by Ulysse can provide a good viewing experience, suitable for hosting regional or international events.

Standard soccer goal and supporting equipment

The 11-a-side soccer field is equipped with a standard-sized soccer goal (7.32 meters wide x 2.44 meters high), which must be matched with a rust-resistant steel frame, a high-strength net and a ground fixing system. These accessories must comply with international competition standards to ensure safe and standardized use.

Safety buffer and protection area design

Football is a high-intensity confrontational sport, and the safety protection of players must be taken seriously. Soft guardrails, shock-absorbing foam walls or buffer material areas can be installed on the edge of the field, and a certain width of safety buffer space should be left to avoid collisions or slip injuries during exercise.

Drainage and sprinkler system (optional configuration)

If natural turf is used, underground drainage and sprinkler systems must be considered to maintain healthy growth of the turf. Even for artificial turf, it is recommended to equip it with drainage ditches to prevent water accumulation during heavy rain and keep the field dry.

Other ancillary facilities (locker room, referee area, electronic scoreboard, etc.)

In order to improve the overall professionalism and functionality of the venue, locker rooms, referee rest areas, tactical board areas and electronic scoring systems can also be added, which is especially important in multi-functional sports centers or professional club projects.

Material selection is the key to building a high-quality football field

Building an 11-a-side football field is a systematic project. From foundation to lawn, from fence to lighting, every link cannot be ignored. UNISPORT focuses on providing customers with one-stop football field solutions, covering design, production, material supply, transportation and installation support.
