The biggest football goal
\nin the world
\nat the Brandenburg Gate<\/h3>\n

In celebration of the 2024 European football championship being held in Germany, we\u2019ve built the biggest football goal in the world to function as a frame around the Brandenburg Gate. The goalpost was 63 metres wide, 21 metres high and weighed 40 tonnes<\/strong>. To complete the picture, we also rolled out 24,000 m\u00b2<\/strong> of artificial turf in two areas, the Platz des 18. M\u00e4rz and the Stra\u00dfe des 17. Juni. The result of this huge goal-turf installation was a pop-up park that served throughout the tournament as the setting for traditional large-scale public viewing, for a multifaceted programme of cultural events and entertainment and as a meeting point for football fans from all over Europe.<\/p>\n

The artificial turf is 100 % recyclable<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The turf we used for the installation was specially developed and made for the EURO 2024. The turf is a CO\u2082-reduced and climate-neutral synthetic turf and 100 % recyclable<\/strong>. In keeping with the global goals for sustainable development contained in the UN\u2019s Agenda 2030 and, in particular, as a way of avoiding the use of microplastics, the turf was filled with a natural material (single grain, quartz sand) rather than rubber granulate, thus eliminating a main source of microplastic emissions. This allowed us to reduce to a minimum the danger that fine dust is released into the environment during the event and also long thereafter as part of the turf\u2019s post-tournament use.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
