All eyes on the pitch! 🏟️👟⚽

As the FIFA World Cup begins, the spotlight will naturally be on the players, the goals and the big moments. But every touch, sprint, tackle and finish starts with the surface beneath them.

At this level, the pitch is not just a backdrop. It has to perform under pressure — match after match, under changing conditions, intense schedules and global attention.

Here’s to the grounds teams helping the game flow at its best.

💡Light is essential for turf — but only up to a point

Turf works within a natural Daily Light Integral (DLI) range.
Once this is exceeded, additional light no longer supports growth — it creates stress.

This can lead to photoinhibition, heat build-up and oxidative stress in the plant.

In our latest article, we explore how excess light impacts turf physiology and how real-time light management can help maintain balance in stadium environments.

🌍 World Environment Day 2026 |

Climate action in stadiums starts with sports surface management.

As the science of plant growth and recovery moves forward, technology can help venues make better decisions — using light, water, fertiliser and energy with greater precision.

At Rhenac, we work with grounds teams to share knowledge, support education and provide CLS® technology that helps optimise turf performance through smarter resource use.

Sustainable pitch care is not simply about reducing inputs. It is about using better tools and better knowledge to grow stronger, healthier turf.

⚽ Adler Cup 2026 – First Matches Played

The tournament is now in full swing at the pitches of SV Adler Dellbrück 1922 e. V., with young players across all age groups and the first matches already completed.

As the opening day of the tournament continues, more matches, energy, and moments of true team spirit are still to come as hundreds of children enjoy the game in a positive and active environment.

We’re proud to see the Adler Cup once again creating space for participation, development, and pure football enjoyment.

We’re looking forward to the next days of the tournament.

⚽ Supporting Football Beyond the Professional Game

We’re proud to once again be the Main Sponsor of the RHENAC Adler Cup, hosted by SV Adler Dellbrück 1922 e. V., taking place from 04-07 June 2026, close to our new premises in Lohmar.

At Rhenac, we focus on one essential foundation of the game: the playing surface. Pitches are more than just grass — they create the opportunity for people to play, develop, and simply enjoy football while bringing communities together.

The Adler Cup is the biggest youth football tournament in Cologne, bringing together young players in an environment built around football, movement, and community.

With 400–500 children regularly active on the pitches across different teams and sessions, the focus goes far beyond competition — it’s about keeping kids healthy, active, and engaged through sport. During the tournament itself, around 1,000 young players will take part over the four days, highlighting the scale and importance of the event.

Events like the Adler Cup show what football is really about — and we’re proud to support this.

A proud moment for everyone involved in the development of CLS®.

This year, our technology has been recognised by both the German Innovation Awards and the Smarter Sports Awards — with all nominations focused on one thing: helping stadiums grow and maintain elite turf in increasingly complex environments.

What makes this even more meaningful is that these nominations reflect years of work with clubs, stadiums, researchers and grounds teams.

We feel honoured to be part of these conversations around innovation, sustainability and the future of stadium infrastructure.
