The world leader in artificial turf is proud to announce that the first artificial turf sports field in Iraq for the U.S. Government has been installed at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. In addition to being the world leader in sports surfacing for schools, municipalities and professional teams, FieldTurf has installed more artificial sports turf for the military (both in the U.S. and abroad) than any other artificial turf manufacturer.

“The entire FieldTurf family could not be more proud that the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad chose FieldTurf for their sports field resurfacing project,” said FieldTurf President Eric Daliere. “This installation adds to our long list of installations for various organizations within the Department of State and the U.S. military. We can assure all that will use the field in Baghdad that they are training on the safest, highest performing, and most durable artificial turf system in the world.”

In addition to the recently installed field for the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, other U.S. Government installations completed by FieldTurf include Guantanamo Bay, Fort Lewis Army Base in Fort Lewis, Washington, Great Lakes Navy Base in Great Lakes, IL, U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, U.S. Military Academy at West Point in West Point, New York, U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, as well as installations for other governments including Zayed Military College in the UAE, and the Royal Air Force Base in Scotland, to name just a few.

In 2006, the U.S. General Services Administration awarded a contract to FieldTurf USA under the category of recreational and athletic equipment — allowing organizations to obtain FieldTurf through the federal government without having to endure the lengthy and often misleading bid process. The GSA is the most reliable resource for Federal purchasers with the most comprehensive selection of approved products & services. The goal of the system is to bring together all GSA sources, along with their catalog description, current price and delivery options to provide a simplified method of ordering.
