FIFA standards include the physical properties of artificial turf surfaces, ball rolling characteristics, abrasion resistance, bounce and cushioning values, water drainage and many other factors.

FIFA standards in artificial grass testing and certification aim to ensure that pitches reach a certain level of performance and minimize the risk of injury to footballers. The testing and certification processes of artificial turf pitches are carried out through independent laboratories and expert assessments.

They aim to assess how artificial turf surfaces behave in real game conditions. These processes include durability to frequent use, color durability, UV resistance, water drainage, player injury risk and other performance characteristics. A robust artificial turf field should be long-lasting, resistant to all weather conditions and require regular maintenance.

Artificial turf pitches seeking FIFA certification are subjected to detailed tests. These tests are conducted to determine the quality and performance of the field as well as compliance with standards. When the certification process is successfully completed, the artificial turf field receives the FIFA Quality Certificate, proving its quality and reliability.
