Founded in 1996, over the years De Cata Sport has increasingly increased its skills in building sports facilities with innovation, quality and professionalism.

For over thirty years, the company has therefore been building quality sports facilities in terms of both performance and durability, ensuring value for money with products of the highest technological level.

With the growing demand for sustainable and high-performance solutions in the field of synthetic turf for football pitches, De Cata Sport is at the forefront with the latest generation of ecogreen turf, which allows for a football pitch with superior performance, combining wear resistance and high performance with a reduced ecological impact thanks to the complete recycling of materials at the end of its life.

Synthetic turf is the best investment for any amateur or professional club; it is a step towards a greener future, while maintaining the highest standards for its athletes.

The advantages of synthetic turf football pitches are considerable: minimal maintenance, all-weather functionality, natural feel and aesthetics, and 100% recyclability.

For De Cata Sport, 2024 was a very promising year, taking to the track with the renovation of many municipal stadiums including the Monterisi in the Municipality of Cerignola (Fg), the work on which began during the summer break and was completed in 40 days.

The turf is at the cutting edge of performance, characterized by its double diamond shape, which gives the synthetic turf incredible resilience and superior elastic memory. In addition, the ultra-thick double thickness prolongs its life, making the synthetic turf extremely resistant to playing stress and the attack of UV rays and frost.

It guarantees ideal ball bounce and flow that would be the envy of any natural terrain, it adapts perfectly to the stability and rotation of the cleat and absorbs the impact of running while returning the energy needed for momentum, all according to FIFA QUALITY PRO standards.

The municipal stadium in the municipality of Mafalda (Cb) has been upgraded with a grass with the same characteristics as above, but with a natural performance infill consisting essentially of vegetable fibre, with unique and innovative organoleptic properties, which gives the synthetic turf system a natural touch, non-toxic and recyclable, retains moisture to ensure a surface that is always cool under high temperatures, does not cause any abrasion when sliding and reduces impact from falling.

At the beginning of 2025, De Cata Sport has several construction sites still open for the latest generation of ecogreen synthetic turf sports fields, as well as gymnasium floors and multi-purpose playing fields for tennis, basketball and volleyball. A granular rubber mat and self-levelling polyurethane resin finish make the surface elastic and resistant to any type of sporting activity, thanks to the application by casting that forms a seamless surface, ensuring that the technical performance is maintained over time.

This system offers high acoustic comfort in indoor applications and is also ideal for covering heated floors.
