PST Sport Completes First Artificial Grass Pitch Under New FIFA Manual 2024 Guidelines

Aerial view of the completed FIFA Quality certified artificial grass pitch at Malahide United FC in Dublin, installed by PST Sport.

Earlier this month, PST Sport completed a full-size artificial grass pitch resurface for Dublin grassroots football club, Malahide United FC. The new FIFA Quality certified surface, featuring TriPlex 45 laid over a 12mm preformed shock pad, sets a new benchmark for artificial grass pitches under FIFA’s updated 2024 testing and certification standards.

This project marks an important milestone for PST Sport as the first completed under the new FIFA Test Manual 2024. The updated manual introduces significant changes in how pitches are tested and approved, including revised methods for shock absorption, vertical deformation, recycled content validation and dynamic fatigue testing. These updates reflect FIFA’s ongoing commitment to innovation and long-term performance standards across the football industry.

Enhanced Shock Absorption Requirements

The 2024 FIFA Test Manual introduces stricter shock absorption and deformation criteria, aligned with EN standards, to enhance player safety and pitch consistency. Shock pads must now meet tighter performance limits, ensuring uniform playability and durability under heavy use throughout the pitch’s lifespan.

Advanced Testing and Measurement Systems

The manual introduces new testing devices, including the Advanced Artificial Athlete (AAA) for shock absorption and energy return, and the Rotational Traction Athlete (RTA) for traction and rotational stability. Additionally, the Head Injury Criterion (HIC) test now measures critical fall height (CFH ≥0.60m) to assess high-impact safety, providing a more accurate evaluation of player–surface interaction and long-term durability.

Carpet Report and Future Resurfacing Compliance

A key update is the mandatory FIFA Carpet report, recording all materials, construction tolerances and test results. This becomes the reference for future resurfacing. When resurfaced, retained components such as the shock pad or infill must be retested and shown to perform within the manufacturer’s declared tolerances, typically ±5% for shock absorption and ±2mm for deformation, to maintain FIFA compliance.

Commitment to Sustainability and Long-Term Performance

The new manual places greater emphasis on environmental responsibility, requiring verification of recycled content in synthetic yarns and stricter testing of infill materials to ensure environmental safety and quality. FIFA Quality certification now remains valid for three years, subject to correct maintenance, ensuring surfaces continue to meet global standards over time.

Delivering Malahide United’s new pitch under the revised FIFA guidelines is a major milestone for PST Sport. This was one of the first projects to be completed under the new FIFA Test Manual 2024, and we’re proud that Malahide United’s pitch was among the first to meet these newly implemented global standards.

As FIFA raises the bar for artificial turf quality and testing, our in-house team is leading the way in meeting and exceeding those expectations.

Colin Teahon, MD, PST Sport

CCGrass’s TriPlex 45 system, featuring Triple Fibre Technology, continues to set the standard in artificial turf innovation, combining exceptional durability, resilience, and playability for both match and training use.

PST Sport remains committed to driving innovation across every stage of pitch construction, from design and pitch construction through to maintenance, ensuring every surface is built to perform at the highest level for years to come.

A New Era for Bray Wanderers: The Carlisle Grounds Transformed

New artificial grass pitch at Bray Wanderers FC's Carlisle Grounds - constructed by PST Sport

PST Sport recently completed a world-class FIFA Quality Approved artificial grass stadium pitch for League of Ireland club, Bray Wanderers, at Carlisle Grounds. The new state-of-the-art surface is set to transform the club, providing a consistent, high-performance pitch that eliminates the challenges of training across multiple venues.

Previously, teams trained in various locations, including Greystones, Enniskerry, Monkstown, and Ballycorus, resulting in logistical issues and costly rental fees. Now, with a world-class home pitch, all teams can train and play in one location, reinforcing the club’s identity and ensuring year-round availability, regardless of weather conditions.

The pitch is designed to:

✔ Offer a fast, safe, and realistic football surface
✔ Promote advanced skills
✔ Be consistent whatever the weather
✔ Provide players with the best playing experience

The project included full groundworks, the installation of an enhanced drainage system and a dynamic stone base, creating the perfect foundation for a high-quality playing surface.

The TriPlex 45 surface features 3 different fibre shapes, in 3 different shades of green. Each fibre has its own function, that offers a perfect surface for football; combining durability, resilience and a comfortable touch against skin. Underneath, our SAFLEX shock pad ensures optimal energy dispersion, mimicking the feel of a high-quality natural grass pitch – firm underfoot but soft upon impact. The pitch was infilled with high-grade silica sand and Green ECO ProGran infill, ensuring consistent playability and long-term performance.

TriPlex 45: Raising the Game in Artificial Football Turf

TriPlex 45: Raising the Game in Artificial Football Turf

Setting New Standards in Artificial Turf Performance

Receiving plaudits for your pitch is every club’s goal, especially when they have invested in a new artificial surface. Clubs such as Oxford City FC, Bedford Town FC, and Larkhall Athletic FC are benefitting from TriPlex 45, a premier artificial turf football product developed by PST Sport and their FIFA Preferred Producer partner, CCGrass. Since its introduction, TriPlex 45 has proven a winner – not only for top non-league clubs but also for selected Football Foundation funded facilities, such as the new pitch at Sheffield Wednesday’s community hub.

  • Oxford City Football Club, 7,840 sq/m FIFA Quality Approved
  • Larkhall Athletic FC, 7,400 sq/m FIFA Quality Pro Approved
  • Sheffield Wednesday FC Jubilee Park, Full-Size FIFA Quality Pro Approved
  • Bedford Town FC, 7,800 sq/m FIFA Quality Pro Approved

Meeting Non-League Demands

Colin Teahon, Managing Director of PST Sport, explains,

“Our reputation in non-league football is growing fast, and we needed a product that would meet the demands of high-quality competitive football on a Saturday, as well as other clubs’ and community use during the week. We decided that a 45mm pile height turf on a PE foam pad would make the best combination, based on previous experience and extensive research reviewing products tested to FIFA standards.”

Engineering a Winning Artificial Turf Design for Optimal Performance

At this point, PST Sport collaborated with their production company, which offered a unique three-fibre combination. Bryn Lee, consultant to CCGrass, helped select three contrasting yarns for the product. “First, we have a V-shaped yarn that offers excellent resilience and helps control the speed of the football across the surface. This is supported by a wide C-shaped yarn with a central spine for softness and improved infill retention, and finally, a diamond-shaped yarn for long-term performance. Each fibre is a different shade of green, creating a more natural appearance.”

TripLex 45 artificial grass turf for footballPictured above: TriPlex 45, a premier surface for stadium and academy football. Each tuft includes three different fibre shapes that bring their own benefits; balancing durability with resilience and a soft touch, to create a unique product. When laid onto a PE foam pad, TriPlex 45 doesn’t just meet FIFA Quality and FIFA Quality Pro standards; it offers great value alongside exceptional performance. It really is the next step up for football.

Testimonials: Positive Feedback from Clubs

Feedback from players, coaches, and owners has reinforced the design of TriPlex 45. Bedford Town FC Chairman John Taylor remarked,

“I met Colin Teahon, Managing Director of PST Sport. We met with five different companies who provide new artificial surfaces in the UK, and I can honestly say he was 100% the best party to deal with – his knowledge and integrity are unquestionable. There was no pressure in sales, and he delivered within our desired timescales.

The quality workmanship and the expertise of his team in delivering such a magnificent ‘state-of-the-art’ facility are second to none. The pitch looks fantastic, and everyone who’s been down to the ground has said the same thing. The customer service and workmanship have been excellent. From start to finish, we have been very impressed and will always recommend this company. Many thanks for all your help. We are delighted with the pitch PST Sport has provided for Bedford Town FC.”

Jon Taylor, Owner & Director, Bedford Town FC

A Game-Changer for Non-League and Community Football

As Colin Teahon concludes, “The TriPlex 45 turf, laid onto a PE foam pad, doesn’t just meet FIFA Quality and FIFA Quality Pro standards; it offers great value alongside exceptional performance. It really is the next step up for football.”
