Berlin, Germany — In honor of the upcoming 2024 UEFA European Football Championship (Euro 2024) and its festival of events, SYNLawn Berlin has installed nearly 300,000 square feet (25,000 m²) of premium artificial turf to create a one-of-a-kind destination for sports and football/soccer enthusiasts known as the Fan Zone Brandenburger Tor / Fan Mile. It’s located at Straße des 17. Juni between the iconic Brandenburger Tor/Brandenburg Gate and the Victory Column.
Creating a Unique Outdoor Space for Euro 2024 Fans with Sustainable Turf
Between June 14 through July 14 (the last game of the Championship), tens of thousands of people are expected to attend the Euro 2024 festival events. The Fan Mile opens to the public on June 17 and will offer locals and visitors from around the world the opportunity to experience a giant playing field and a pop-up park for summer socializing with fellow sports fans. The unique outdoor space also features the world’s largest football goal in front of the Brandenburg Gate, and there will be giant screens set up for public viewing of select EURO 2024 matches. On the non-match days, guests will be treated to evening movie screenings and concerts.
SYNLawn Berlin is very excited about this important collaboration with the event organizer, Kulturprojekte Berlin GmbH, to provide a beautiful and comfortable place for fans to gather together. The synthetic surfacing used to create the Fan Mile was developed specifically for this project. Providing sustainable options is important to SYNLawn. The installation does not contain any rubber granules as infill to avoid the discharge of microplastics, which has been proven by special stress tests conducted before the turf was installed. Additionally, SYNLawn’s exclusive plant-based EnviroLoc+™ backing system replaces the petroleum-based polyol with renewable soybeans.
The artificial grass used for the installation is also the cleanest and safest available on the market due to being manufactured with Super Yarn™ technology that provides heat reflective, anti-static, Sanitized® and non-abrasive grass blades.
After the Championship is over, SYNLawn Berlin will repurpose the turf by professionally removing it and donating it to be used in sports field installations around the city (i.e., youth centers, schools, daycare centers) that will benefit children in the community.
