FIFA 3G Pitch Test 2026 - Pass ✅
12 JUN 2026
The 3G pitch at The Exclusive Networks Stadium, Alton, has once again passed its annual FIFA test.
The annual FIFA 3G pitch test ensures that the playing surface at Alton FC meets the quality, safety, and performance standards set by FIFA.
The test evaluates key aspects such as ball roll, shock absorption, surface hardness, and rotational resistance to confirm that the pitch continues to provide a safe and consistent playing environment.
Regular testing not only helps maintain player safety and game integrity but also protects the facility's investment by identifying any issues early. Additionally, a certified pitch means that Alton FC can be confident in continuing to host matches and tournaments.
Our continued thanks go to our dedicated grounds team, Tony and Ian, whose year-round efforts ensure the pitch is kept in top condition and ready for action.
