(E-Sports) International, the firm behind the installation of the world-class track oval in Clark New City, celebrated its 20 years over the weekend with a friendly match among stakeholders and partners at the SM Cherry Football Turf in Mandaluyong.
E-Sports International, Incorporated is acknowledged as the leading sports architecture and recreational solutions provider in the Philippines and has been at the forefront of building sports facilities such as oval tracks, artificial football fields, tennis courts, badminton courts, basketball courts, multipurpose gyms, fitness centers, jogging paths, and playgrounds, for two decades now.
The company proudly showcased one of its successful and unique construction projects, the Cherry Turf, located on the rooftop of the SM Cherry Shaw.
Owned and operated by recreational sports start-up Optimal Athletics, Incorporated, with venue partner SM Supermalls, this is the first rooftop football pitch using a certified artificial turf system by a FIFA-preferred producer, LIMONTA SPORT. Not only does it give SM Cherry patrons a distinctive mall experience but it also provides football enthusiasts a perfect venue for 7-, 8-, or 9-a-side matches for fun and training purposes.
E-Sports is the only company with end-to-end expertise – from technical consultation to concept and design through to installation and maintenance – and a passion to ensure that the highest standards of excellence are achieved at every step.
Through its partnerships with the world’s most trusted and leading global brands in sports surfaces, such as Limonta Sport, a leading European manufacturer of artificial turf, E-Sports ensures that football pitches are built to last and offer excellent playability.
To date, E-Sports is responsible for building 9 out of the country’s 11 FIFA-certified football fields nationwide.
Its strict adherence to the standards of global sports federations and driven by a strong desire to build facilities that are able to provide the right environment for athletes who want to train at the highest level without having to leave home soil, E-Sports continues be the preferred partner of sports infrastructure owners and developers who are serious in building truly world-class facilities.
Given the extreme weather conditions that occur throughout the year, artificial turf is ideal for football pitches in the Philippines, providing advantages such as an all-weather material that provides constant conditions regardless of the climate. It is also less costly to maintain and eliminates the need for watering, fertilizers, and pesticides.
