We Designed the Turf for Soccer’s Biggest World Cup Ever — Here’s How We Created the Same Playing Experience Across 3 Countries
The ambitious project of designing uniform turf for the 2026 FIFA World Cup across three countries—Canada, the United States, and Mexico—highlights the intersection of scientific research and practical application. This endeavor, led by turfgrass researchers from Michigan State University and the University of Tennessee, tackles the challenge of creating consistent playing conditions across diverse climates and stadium designs. By innovating with sod grown on plastic and developing hybrid turfgrass systems, the team ensures that the pitches remain robust and playable despite varying environmental conditions.
