FC Boavista renews and intensifies its partnership with Italgreen

Professionalism and foresight, these are the two key words of the operation just completed by Italgreen on Iberian soil. The company, a leader in the production and installation of synthetic turf for sports facilities, has long been expanding its horizons beyond the Italian border by establishing collaborations, partnerships and supplies with the most important teams and sports facilities around the world.

The latest operation completed concerns precisely the Stadio do Bessa, in Portugal, home of the home matches of FC Boavista, recently readmitted to the Primeira Liga (the Portuguese premier league), and ready to host teams of the highest level such as Benfica and Porto. In fact, an important partnership agreement with the football club has been completed, which has taken the form of a substantial maintenance operation on the facility built at the time in 2009 by Italgreen. After 5 years, Italgreen reconfirms its technological and innovation capacity by completing the renovation work of the turf that now takes advantage of the best technologies making the playing field more and more natural thanks to the use thanks to its revolutionary composition GEOFILL®, the first natural filler for synthetic turf carpets.

With its organic granules composed mostly of plant fibers and mineral elements GEOFILL® is the environmentally friendly choice to traditional rubber systems. It consists of plant fibers resistant to aging and climatic exposure, natural antifreeze and compounds that do not allow weeds to germinate, a substrate that does not produce mud even in the worst weather conditions. The result is a 2-star Fifa-approved, perfectly drained, injury-free pitch that ensures smooth ball flow and dribbling against all possible wear and tear factors.

"Being alongside teams of this caliber like FC Boavista fills us with pride.

explains Daniele Gilardi, Marketing Manager of Italgreen.

after 5 years from the realization of the Bessa Stadium we have completed a redevelopment project that well highlights the trust in our work and made in Italy as well as the quality of our products, rigorously tested by leading laboratories worldwide and also officially entered the Italian professional soccer with excellent feedback from players, coaches and physiotherapist. Italgreen after having built the first synthetic turf stadium in Serie A with the "Piola" in Novara, puts the flag also in Portugal in the Primeira Liga with the "do Bessa" stadium in Porto, proving to be a leader in time and space."
