Key details
Two municipalities in Spain, Moaña and Sada, have launched significant renovation projects to improve their local football facilities. Moaña recently completed a €408,430.77 investment in its football 7 fields, installing advanced artificial turf with crushed pine cone infill that requires minimal maintenance and complies with expected EU restrictions banning rubber infill by 2031. The new surface, spanning 2,500 square meters per field, features an elastic layer enhancing player safety and a smart irrigation system controllable via a mobile app. Additional improvements at CEIP Seara include new benches and safety railings.
Meanwhile, in Sada, the Concello has tendered a €500,000 contract for the refurbishment of the As Mariñas Andrés Pena sports complex. The initial phase, set to last around two months, focuses on replacing the main pitch's artificial turf with a high-performance surface, creating a new warm-up zone with technical flooring, and upgrading drainage and irrigation systems. Further enhancements involve painting, new sports equipment including seating and goals, and a second phase plans to renovate locker rooms, improve lighting, install a digital display, and upgrade spectator access.
These comprehensive projects highlight local government efforts to modernize grassroots football infrastructure, ensuring safe, high-quality playing environments and improved amenities for players and fans alike.
