FIFA Quality PRO Performance for artificial pitches, which are in widespread use in Countries with very cold climates/Winter breaks.

When it comes to grass pitches, then the quality of the construction increases as you progress upwards through the leagues.

It is governed to a large extent by the depth of the root zone, which encourages the roots to penetrate further into the ground, typically to a maximum of 200mm.

Also, the top quality pitches have drainage, irrigation & mechanical aeration systems built in to the construction.

A good example is Villa Park, which is a Desso Grassmaster pitch, reinforced with nylon fibres, knitted in to the pitch at one inch centres.

These types of pitches are prefered when football clubs ground-share with rugby clubs.

Note:

The UEFA pitch size requirement is 105m x 68m.
