Concept of Turf Ground
Turf ground:
"A coating of synthetic fibres that resembles natural grass is known as artificial turf. It's a term for playgrounds where children used to play on grass. It's now being employed in both commercial and residential settings. Artificial turf's major purpose is to provide care for players in areas where they are subjected to heavy use, such as sports fields, and it does" not require irrigation or pruning. The grass has a hard time obtaining enough sunshine to keep healthy, but turf does not require that kind of specific care. Artificial turf has drawbacks, such as a short lifespan, the need for periodic cleaning, the usage of petroleum, and the use of toxic chemicals, all of which raise health and safety concerns."
"Artificial turf initially garnered notoriety in 1966, when it was put in a year-old astrodome. Monsanto created a chemical called "Chem-grass" that was used in turf grounds. Since then, the phrase has been synonymous with any artificial turf. Monsanto no longer owns the AstroTurf trademark, which is still registered."
"Second and third generation turf systems have essentially superseded first generation turf systems, such as short pile fibres lacking inflorescences. "Fibers and sand inflows distinguish the second generation of artificial turf systems, whereas inflows of a mixture of sand and recycled rubber distinguish the third generation artificial turf systems, which are the most extensively utilised nowadays."
"Types of turf:
- Warm-season grass
- Cool season grass

Turf ground approved by FIFA?
"FIFA has always favoured grass to turf. FIFA stated that every stadium in the world should have the same surface. It's long been a point of contention, but FIFA does not evaluate the grass pitch for the World Cup or professional tournaments because there are several criteria, according to FIFA."
- The turf ground system was not approved by FIFA for the following reasons:
- Artificial surfaces, they asserted, are less forgiving than grass.
- Injury is a concern.
- They argued that on artificial turf, balls travel and bounce differently.
"Although FIFA claims that turf fields are better for indoor games or practise since they require less acreage, have less requirements than grass, and are less expensive."
