FIFA considers the development of football technology and related quality standards to be one of its most important priorities. In order to further develop the standards FIFA has set up the FIFA Technical Advisory Group for Football Turf Standards (“Turf Technical Advisory Group”). Kiwa ISA Sport is member of this group, represented by Gert-Jan Kieft, Manager Laboratory. “I am happy to be in the Advisory Group were I can contribute with my knowledge and experience. I am looking forward to the cooperation to come to a better quality of football turf all over the world”

The Turf Technical Advisory Group will collate, examine, debate, consult and decide on quality standards in all areas relating to artificial football turf: from the development phase to the installation of high-quality artificial football turf pitches. The aim of the collaboration is the standardization of issues related to artificial football turf in the Laws of the Game issued by The IFAB.
