The Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub (AVSH) is the only football pitch in the country with a valid FIFA certification.
In a quest to provide a credible and safe training ground for amateur and professional athletes, Ayala Land Inc. has taken a significant step forward. The Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub football field underwent rigorous testing last Sept. 5 to achieve FIFA certification. This certification not only signifies compliance with international standards but also opens doors to hosting prestigious international tournaments.
The FIFA certification carries a huge significance in the world of football. It serves as a seal of approval and demonstrates that a football pitch has met the strict requirements set by FIFA engineers. As of now, the Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub (AVSH) is the only football pitch in the country with a valid FIFA certification. This distinction is a testament to AVSH’s commitment to providing a top-notch training and playing environment for athletes.
By achieving FIFA certification, AVSH can host training camps, top amateur leagues, local professional league games, and even international matches. With the highest governing body of football endorsing the facility, AVSH becomes a preferred venue for both national and international games. This certification will not only enhance AVSH’s reputation but also solidify its status as a hub for football excellence in the Philippines.
The only valid FIFA-certified football field in the country
AVSH’s pursuit of FIFA certification is a milestone in its mission to provide a world-class training and playing environment for athletes. The facility underwent rigorous testing conducted by AcoustoScan, an independent testing company, to determine its eligibility for FIFA Quality Certification. The assessment involved tests conducted both on the field and in a laboratory setting to ensure compliance with FIFA standards.
The installation of the FIFA-preferred Limonta Duo Shape 45 artificial turf with shock drain by E-sports RK International, Inc. further strengthened AVSH’s chances of achieving FIFA Quality certification. The company’s expertise in building FIFA-certified pitches, including the Rizal Memorial Stadium, makes them the ideal partner for AVSH’s ambitious goals.
Durability is a key factor in the installation of artificial turf pitches. With the high usage rate of AVSH Football Field, the introduction of artificial grass provides greater durability over time. It is expected to last 10 to 12 years, depending on the facility’s usage. Moreover, artificial turf handles wear and tear better, especially considering the unstable weather conditions in the country. This sustainable solution also reduces the maintenance requirements and water demand associated with natural grass fields.
An all-weather venue for games
AVSH and the athletes who use the facility benefit from choosing artificial turf for several reasons. These include improved aesthetics, durability against weather conditions, reduced maintenance requirements, and versatility. Artificial turf can cater to a wide range of sports and activities, providing athletes from various disciplines with a consistently high-quality playing surface.
Last Oct. 8, the football field successfully hosted the Guam Men’s National Team and De La Salle University football match. Despite the rain, the match left a lasting impression.
Ayala Land Inc.’s commitment to excellence is evident in its pursuit of FIFA certification for the Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub Football Field. The certification not only demonstrates compliance with international standards but also opens doors to hosting prestigious tournaments and attracting top-level athletes. With E-sports RK International, Inc. leading the installation process, AVSH is well on its way to becoming a hub for football excellence in the Philippines.
