ATHREN FIELD · Football Facility Systems
Build the football field as a complete performance and operating system.
ATHREN FIELD football projects connect the selected playing surface to the complete facility: infill or non-infill construction, shockpad where required, base and drainage interfaces, goals, perimeter, lighting, player and spectator infrastructure, technology and maintenance. Any FIFA Quality or FIFA Quality Pro requirement remains tied to the exact source system and completed-field certification pathway.

Illustrative ATHREN FIELD football facility concept. Final turf system, infrastructure and certification pathway are project-specific.Field to facility
Define the football programme before choosing the field system.
Training volume, competition level, maintenance capability, climate and field sharing all affect the right football construction and the infrastructure around it.
Choose the complete surface system
Confirm turf construction, infill or non-infill pathway, shockpad where required, seams, line marking and current test documentation.
Coordinate the field infrastructure
Resolve base, drainage, goals, perimeter, lighting, benches, spectators, technology, access and maintenance equipment around the layout.
Freeze supply, testing and responsibilities
Confirm product scope, freight, local installer role, finished-field testing where required and destination approvals before order.
Apollo coordinates the agreed product package. Local civil works, foundations, electrical work, installation, field testing and statutory approvals remain separate project responsibilities unless expressly included.
Product details
Complete football facility building blocks
The exact package changes with playing level, usage, climate, maintenance model and any federation or procurement requirement.
01Playing surface
Performance · Club · Community · Training · Non-InfillThe exact turf system is selected against use intensity, maintenance, climate and current product documentation.
02Infill strategy
Filled · reduced-infill · selected non-infillThe construction is selected as a complete system; infill type and quantity are not treated as interchangeable.
03Shockpad
System-specific where requiredMaterial, thickness and role depend on the exact tested system and project performance requirement.
04Base interface
Project-specific civil designLevels, tolerances, falls and structural stability must be resolved before the sports surface is installed.
05Drainage
Surface + sub-surface strategyLocal rainfall, base design, outlets and perimeter water management are coordinated before final system selection.
06Goals & equipment
Training · club · competitionGoal type, anchoring, storage and supporting field equipment are selected around the operating programme.
07Perimeter & ball-stop
Fencing · gates · high containmentField geometry, neighbouring uses, spectator separation and maintenance access control the perimeter strategy.
08Sports lighting
Project photometric designMounting, optics, glare, uniformity and operating levels are developed around the actual field.
09Players & officials
Benches · shelters · technical areasTeam, officials, medical and coaching areas are coordinated with sidelines and field access.
10Spectators
Bleachers · grandstands · accessible viewingSpectator infrastructure scales with venue type and expected attendance.
11Technology
Scoreboards · cameras · connectivityCoaching, analysis, streaming and venue-operation requirements are scoped separately.
12Maintenance
System-specificBrushing, decompaction, infill control where applicable, cleaning and inspection must match the selected turf construction.
13Supply model
Supply onlyApollo supplies the agreed products and documents; local civil, electrical, installation, testing and compliance remain separate scopes.
Exact turf, infill, shockpad, base, drainage, FIFA-related documentation, warranty, maintenance and finished-field testing are confirmed against the selected system before quotation. Apollo NZ Global is supply-only.

Explore pathwayApplications + project fit
Football fields perform as systems, not as turf rolls.
Non-infill is a separate pathway
Where a non-infill construction is suitable, it is selected as a complete engineered field system rather than as a direct substitute for every filled football turf.
Certification remains exact-system specific
Any FIFA Quality or FIFA Quality Pro requirement is matched to the exact underlying product/system and finished-field certification process.
Maintenance changes the selection
Available equipment, staff, usage and replacement strategy influence whether filled, reduced-infill or non-infill pathways are practical.
Climate matters
Heat, UV, rainfall and drainage influence yarn, infill, field temperature, maintenance and the broader operating plan.
Shared facilities need a hierarchy
Where football shares a site or field with other sports, the primary sport and performance requirement must be established before system selection.
The venue can be staged
Schools, clubs and councils can prioritise the core field and add larger spectator, technology or amenity systems in later phases.
