Angra do Heroísmo inaugurates the first pitch in the Azores with organic cork infill

The Angra do Heroísmo Municipal Field marks an important milestone for sustainable football: it is the first facility in the Azores archipelago to feature a 100% organic cork infill, thanks to the installation of the DUAL PLUS system. The new surface, FIFA Quality certified, is designed to deliver high performance, comfort and safety for athletes. The system combines high-resilience fibres, an elastic shockpad to ensure uniform playing behaviour, and a natural, microplastic-free infill, contributing to a reduced environmental impact. The project included the complete removal of the previous turf, ensuring an efficient and responsible renovation process, in line with the latest requirements for sustainability and long-term durability of sports facilities. A project that represents a concrete step towards the football of the future, where performance and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.
