Pitches, balls to be sterilised when football resumes

Leagues are considering to sterilize balls and pitches frequently in order to minimise the chance of players getting infected by the novel coronavirus, once football resumes. Most leagues have been on hold since early March due to the pandemic and stakeholders have been drawing up plans to complete the current season in a bid to avoid catastrophic financial losses.

Re-Match next to introduce sleeving

Re-Match is the next company to introduce sleeving. This concept ensures that all material is contained in the rolls from the moment they are rolled up on the pitch until they go into the shredder at the recycling facility. All it requires is the means to lift the roll off the pitch so that a sleeve – made out of recycled plastic – can be put on it and sealed.
