WMF Quality Program
Ensuring playing performance, safety, durability, and quality assurance for artificial minifootball surfaces worldwide.
Why Artificial Turf?
It was in this context that WMF recognised the potential of artificial turf for the further development of minifootball after a long history when minifootball had been played only on natural grass.
Due to its resistance to weather conditions and more intensive use, artificial turf represents the best alternative to natural grass. However, significant differences exist between the various surface systems available on the market.
For smaller and more intensively used minifootball pitches, artificial turf provides a durable, cost-effective, and weather-resistant alternative to natural grass.
WMF Certified Turf
Only artificial playing surfaces that have been tested in the laboratory and on the field according to the testing criteria of the WMF Quality Programme can be called minifootball turf.
