- Abstract
The article focuses on the use of artificial turf pitches. Artificial turf pitches were adopted by several U.S. American Football clubs in the 1970s and then by several English soccer clubs in the early 1980s. The global market for the artificial turf has increased by 20 percent since 2001. Third-generation artificial turf is said to be safer than natural turf. FIFA is considering whether to use artificial turf for the World Cup to be held in South Africa in 2010.
