When it comes to football field surfacing, performance and safety are non-negotiable. Fields must support sprinting, cutting, tackling, and sudden directional changes—all while minimizing injury risks. Non-infill artificial turf, as an innovative next-generation surface, is proving to be a strong contender. And among its champions, VivaTurf’s non-infill system stands out with its groundbreaking design, making it an elite solution for modern football facilities.
Why Non-Infill Artificial Turf Is Ideal for Football Fields
1. Game-Ready Performance Close to Natural Grass
Modern non-infill turf systems replicate the key physical attributes of natural grass—including traction, elasticity, and ball interaction. With high fiber density and excellent vertical resilience, athletes experience a responsive surface that enables natural foot movement and stable grip. Unlike traditional infill-based turf, non-infill designs avoid issues like infill displacement, which can lead to uneven surfaces and unpredictable ball behavior. This makes it particularly suitable for both competitive matches and intensive training.
2. Enhanced Player Safety Without Harmful Granules
One of the most significant advantages of non-infill turf is its inherently safer design. Traditional systems rely on rubber or sand infill for cushioning—but these can pose hazards, such as inhalation risks, skin irritation, and heat retention. VivaTurf’s non-infill system eliminates these concerns. Its shock absorption comes from advanced fiber construction and integrated padding beneath the surface. The turf’s soft, yet durable fibers effectively reduce joint strain and the likelihood of ankle injuries, while removing foreign material risks altogether.
3. Maintenance Simplicity and Long-Term Cost Efficiency
Football fields see some of the most demanding use in sports. Maintaining infill turf requires regular top-ups, brushing, and frequent surface grooming. Non-infill turf eliminates this upkeep burden. No infill = fewer maintenance cycles, less labor, and no recurring material costs. With only basic cleaning and periodic brushing required, this system offers significant savings over its lifetime—ideal for schools, training academies, and municipal sports grounds.
VivaTurf: A World-Class Non-Infill Turf System Engineered for Football
Advanced Fiber Engineering for Pro-Level Play
VivaTurf’s proprietary dual-fiber design blends the softness of polyethylene (PE) with the structural stiffness of polypropylene (PP). The result is grass blades that stay upright longer, resist matting, and provide ideal ball-to-surface interaction. VivaTurf precisely controls surface friction to meet FIFA’s recommended coefficient range (0.6–0.8), ensuring accurate ball roll, rebound, and player traction. Performance tests show ball dynamics are within 5% of natural turf—earning VivaTurf FIFA Quality Pro certification.
Durability That Exceeds Industry Standards
Turf longevity is crucial for facilities that host multiple matches or daily practice. VivaTurf’s fibers are fortified with UV inhibitors and oxidation-resistant additives, making them highly resistant to fading, embrittlement, and degradation. Engineered to withstand over 10 hours of daily use, VivaTurf turf maintains structural and visual integrity for 8–10 years—far surpassing typical artificial turf lifespan expectations.
Uncompromising Safety Design
Beneath the turf, VivaTurf integrates high-density elastic foam shock pads, delivering an impact absorption rate exceeding 65%—significantly above the international safety benchmark of 55%. The tips of the turf fibers are rounded to prevent abrasion injuries, and the backing material uses non-toxic adhesives free of formaldehyde and heavy metals. All components are OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, making it one of the safest playing surfaces available.
Tailored for Any Football Field Format
Whether it's an 11-a-side regulation pitch, a compact 7-a-side training ground, or a schoolyard football court, VivaTurf offers full customization. Fiber height (typically 50–60mm), stitch density, and underlay options can be precisely matched to site size, usage intensity, and local climate. This ensures optimal surface performance for any level of play—from elite competition to grassroots development.
Non-infill artificial turf has evolved into a high-performance, low-maintenance alternative that meets and often exceeds the standards set by traditional infill systems. With its superior playability, player protection, and operational savings, VivaTurf’s non-infill solution is perfectly engineered for football. Whether you're building a professional stadium, a school pitch, or a community training facility, VivaTurf provides a safe, consistent, and durable surface that mirrors natural grass—without the maintenance burden. Make the switch to VivaTurf and elevate your football field to a new standard of excellence.
