In the winter issue of the Grounds Management Association (GMA) magazine, there is a feature article about the management of playing fields in Qatar. We would like to share with you an excerpt from the publication in which GrasPro is presented and invite you to read the full article in the magazine. 

“All pitches are tested daily to international standards and the results are entered into our GrasPro pitch management data collection system. This allows the performance features of every pitch to be tracked to ensure pitch conditions remain optimal, with appropriate agronomic support coming from iTurf under the guidance of its chief technical officer, Andy Cole.

“We’ve been tracking pitch performance for almost three years and have a fantastic data bank, which will also enable us to create base requirements for the 2026 World Cup pitch programme. The full real test of the Doha pitches was undertaken in 2021 during the FIFA Arab Cup with matches staged at each of the eight stadia. All pitches showed good results.”
