Ghana’s Leading  Football Turf Supplier  2026

According to the basic education data released by the Ghana Education Service (GES), Ghana has more than 8,000 schools nationwide, but fewer than 250 standard football fields that can be used for daily training and matches, with a coverage rate of less than 3%. A large number of schools still rely on sand fields or bare ground as their football pitches. In the 2023–2027 Education Infrastructure Enhancement Plan issued by the Ministry of Education and GES, it is proposed that 40–60 secondary school sports training fields will be constructed or upgraded each year, with artificial turf designated as a key facility.

According to the AstroTurf project announcements published by the Coastal Development Authority (CODA), as of 2024, more than 60 artificial turf football fields have been completed or are under construction nationwide, and the number continues to grow.

According to the official facility upgrade plan of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), each Ghana Premier League team will be equipped with 1–2 training fields in the future, and Division One League teams will gradually adopt artificial turf systems.

Based on the project data released by the Ministry of Education, CODA, and GFA, it is estimated that in the next five years, Ghana’s artificial turf demand will mainly come from school projects (about 50%), community and NGO projects (25%), and club training bases (20%).

Faced with the supply–demand gap in artificial football field construction, sports facility contractors in Ghana must ensure the delivery of a complete and high-quality integrated artificial football turf system. From football field tendering → planning → design → material procurement → installation → certification → maintenance, every step in the process requires enormous effort and hidden costs. Choosing a professional and trustworthy partner becomes extremely important — one who may not only be a football turf manufacturer, but also a football field installation expert, and possibly a tendering and bidding specialist. As your artificial grass for sale in Ghana project consultant, they can not only reduce project risks but also save 20%–30% of your upfront and after-sales costs.

Ghana Football Grass Manufacturer

Ghana currently has no local football turf production factories, and all artificial football turf is imported. The main sources are China (like Mighty Grass) accounting for 75%, Europe 15%, and the Middle East, 10%. According to import data, the main reasons are: Chinese football turf offers high cost performance, a wide range of product types, FIFA-certified football turf options, and stable delivery cycles.

Among these suppliers, Mighty Grass — as a football turf provider with 20+ years of experience and FIFA certification — has delivered nearly 30+ football field integrated solutions for sports facility contractors or installers in the Ghanaian market. These solutions include field design, turf system selection (infill materials and shock pads), qualification and certification support, and after-sales installation services ：

 Football Field Design (Design)

According to the terrain, drainage requirements, and rainy-season conditions in different regions of Ghana, MTGRASS provides customized football field design drawings.

Provides design specifications for school fields, small community pitches, and professional club training fields.

Provides FIFA standard layout dimensions, drainage slope planning, and perimeter safety zone planning.

Football Turf System Selection

MightyGrass will recommend football turf systems based on Ghana’s actual climate conditions (year-round high temperatures, strong UV exposure, and humid rainy seasons):

• UV 5000h weather-resistant turf fibers
  
• 40mm/50mm / 55mm / 60mm football turf (FIFA Quality systems)
  
• Diamond / Spine / Monofilament high-durability yarn structures
  
• High-density hybrid turf designed specifically for high-wear West African fields

More importantly, we help contractors choose the auxiliary system most suitable for Ghana’s climate:

• SBR / EPDM rubber infill selection
  
• Silica sand particle size matching (0.5–1.0 mm, commonly used for tropical fields)
  
• High-rebound shock pad systems
  
• Rain-season-resistant drainage structures

These system combinations directly determine field lifespan and after-sales stability, which are the factors Ghanaian contractors care about most.

FIFA Quality certifications& Documents

The biggest concern for Ghanaian contractors is incomplete documentation required for tender submissions or government project acceptance.
MightyGrass provides a full set of compliance and certification documents, including:

• FIFA Quality / FIFA Quality Pro certification reports
  
• UV 5000h weathering test reports
  
• Lisport XL / EN15330-1 abrasion tests
  
• Anti-aging, heavy metals, and flame-retardant test reports
  
• COC / Bill of Lading / Packing List / HS Code (392690) documents
  
• Port import process assistance (Tema / Takoradi)

These documents are particularly important for school and government projects and can directly influence whether a project wins the bid.

Football Field Installation Support

Many contractors in Ghana have construction teams but lack professional football turf installation guidance. MightyGrass provides:

• On-site installation manuals (sub-base → drainage → turf laying → infill → brushing)
• Installation video guidance
• Remote quality inspection
• Sub-base structure recommendations based on Ghana’s sand-soil conditions
• Complete maintenance and after-sales manuals (especially for high-frequency school fields)

Ghana Football Turf Types

As a football turf supplier, when selecting football turf for your field, you should not only consider the turf price, but also the local climate, field usage, frequency of play, and the safety and performance requirements of the pitch. Currently, the three most popular football turf systems in Ghana are:

FIFA Quality Football Turf (Large Stadiums & footballClubs)

Applicable Scenarios:

• Premier League Clubs
• Regional Training Centers
• Large stadiums (Accra / Kumasi / Cape Coast)
• High-end schools or international school projects

Recommended Turf Structure (Professional Level):

•  50–60mm monofilament football turf
• Diamond / Spine / S-Shape anti-fracture yarn structures
• DTEX: 11,000–13,000
• Density: 10,000–12,000 stitches/m² (high density)
• Shock Pad (10–12mm) high-rebound underlayment
• Infill: silica sand + SBR / EPDM

Why it suits Ghana:

• UV resistance ≥ 5000h (essential for strong-sunlight regions)
• Monofilament structure ensures consistent ball roll, rebound, and playability
• High abrasion resistance — ideal for heavy training loads of Ghanaian clubs
• Excellent system stability for rainy-season drainage demands
• FIFA certification → suitable for government and major tender projects

School / Community Football Turf (Largest Demand in Ghana)

Applicable Scenarios: SHS (Senior High Schools)、 Basic Schools、Community Parks、

 Church Schools、Private schools.

Recommended Turf Structure (High Cost-Performance Type):

• 50mm / 55mm monofilament or hybrid turf
• DTEX: 9,000–11,000
• Density: 8,400–10,000 stitches/m²
• Infill: silica sand + SBR
• Optional economical shock pad (8–10mm)

Why it suits Ghana:

•  Extremely high usage frequency in schools → durability is essential
• Better cost performance than FIFA-level turf (more suitable for local budgets)
• Hybrid yarn structure is more resistant to heavy foot traffic, less likely to flatten
• Handles heavy school usage, rainy-season soaking, and continuous sunlight
• Low maintenance cost (ideal for budget-limited schools)

This is the largest turf category in Ghana’s market (around 50%).

Multi-Sport Turf (School Multi-Purpose / Community Mixed-Use Fields)

Applicable Scenarios:

• School multi-purpose sports fields (football + handball + tennis)
• Community playgrounds
• Youth training grounds
• 5-a-side / 7-a-side small pitches

Recommended Turf Structure:

• 30–45mm multi-sport yarn structure
• Usually fibrillated or hybrid structures (more wear-resistant)
• DTEX: 7,000–9,000
• High density for stable foot feel and compatibility with multiple sports
• Infill: silica sand (less rubber required)

Why it suits Ghana:

• Multi-purpose use → increases field utilization efficiency
• Suitable for school PE lessons (football/volleyball/handball)
• Economical and easy to maintain
• Thicker yarn + higher density → improved durability
• Does not require highly specialized ball-speed performance → reduces cost

Ghana Turf Type Comparison

Turf Type	Application	Yarn Structure	Recommended Height	Recommended Density	Abrasion Resistance	UV Resistance	Field Performance	Maintenance Cost	Budget Level
FIFA Quality Turf	Professional stadiums / club training fields	Monofilament (Diamond / Spine)	50–60 mm	10,000–12,000 stitches/m²	★★★★★	★★★★★	★★★★★ (Professional ball rebound)	★★★	High
School & Community Turf	Schools, community parks, church schools	Monofilament / Mixed yarn	50–55 mm	8,400–10,000 stitches/m²	★★★★☆	★★★★☆	★★★★☆	★★★★☆	Medium
Multi-Sport Turf	School multi-functional sports fields / 5–7-a-side fields	Fibrillated / Multi-Sport	30–45 mm	High density	★★★★★	★★★★☆	★★★☆☆ (Multi-sport compatible)	★★★★★ (Lowest maintenance)	Low–Medium

Under Ghana’s hot climate, strong UV exposure, and heavy rainy-season conditions, abrasion resistance, UV durability, and drainage performance are far more important than how the turf looks. When choosing football turf in Ghana, contractors should always match the turf system to the field’s purpose — whether it is for schools, community fields, or professional club training pitches. Selecting the right system significantly reduces after-sales risks and ensures a longer service life, which is critical for football pitch construction in Ghana.

MightyGrass football turf systems have been tested and proven across multiple projects in West Africa, where the climate closely resembles Ghana’s. Even under extreme conditions such as high-frequency school usage, prolonged rainy-season water exposure, and continuous high-temperature UV radiation, our turf maintains stable performance. This makes MightyGrass one of the most reliable artificial grass suppliers for Ghana, providing long-term value for contractors, installers, and project owners seeking durable, low-maintenance football turf solutions.

Cost of Artificial Grass in Ghana

The price of football turf in Ghana is influenced by multiple factors, including import costs, shipping duration, product grade, field usage, and the type of infill system. As one of the fastest-growing sports infrastructure markets in West Africa, the price of football turf in Ghana has remained relatively stable throughout 2024–2025, but with clear structural differences depending on the system level.

All artificial grass Ghana is imported, mainly through the two major ports: Tema Port (the largest and most important) and Takoradi Port (commonly used for projects in the western region). From these ports, the turf is distributed to contractors across the country.

Below is the pricing information most relevant to contractors. These figures combine Ghana’s local market conditions, port-related fees, and export pricing from Chinese factories, providing professional and realistic data that can be used for project budgeting.

According to Ghana’s 2024–2025 customs data, the CIF price of artificial turf (including ocean freight) generally falls within the following ranges:

• CIF Tema / Takoradi: USD $4.8 – $7.2 / m²
  (School football fields, 50–55mm)
  
• CIF Tema / Takoradi: USD $6.5 – $9.5 / m²
  (Football club fields, 55–60mm)
  
• FIFA Quality / FIFA Quality Pro system-level football turf:
  USD $10 – $14 / m²

(All prices are for reference only; actual pricing depends on quotations from individual manufacturers.)

The key factors affecting football turf prices in Ghana include: different yarn structures (varying pile heights and densities), different UV-resistance levels (with UV 5000+ being the most commonly required standard in Ghana), as well as customs duties and shipping costs. However, for professional sports facility contractors, the most important consideration is selecting the right football turf system and a trustworthy supplier.

With more than 20 years of manufacturing experience, MightyGrass offers a full range of football turf systems that have already been installed across multiple West African countries. Our products have repeatedly passed tests under extreme conditions — high temperatures, strong UV exposure, and rainy-season flooding — making MightyGrass an ideal partner for Ghanaian contractors seeking high-quality, cost-effective football pitch construction solutions.

How to Import Artificial Grass to Ghana

For most sports field contractors in Ghana, importing artificial grass is not complicated. The key is to plan the process, documents, and port requirements in advance. As a factory that exports to more than 80 countries and has long served markets such as Ghana, Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire, and Senegal, we have summarized a set of import procedures that are most suitable for Ghanaian buyers, based on real project experience.

This section explains the process from both the factory export side and the Ghana import side, helping you clearly understand “how to get a football turf system smoothly from a Chinese factory to your site in Ghana.”

These 5 steps are easy to follow at a glance.

1. Choose the right football turf manufacturer for Ghana

Confirm the turf yarn type (monofilament / diamond / spine), pile height (50mm / 55mm / 60mm), whether to include a shock pad, infill requirements, etc. Samples can be mailed to you.

2. Prepare the required import documents

You only need:

• Your company’s tax number
  
• A clearing agent
  
• A payment method

3. Shipping process

Pay the factory deposit → factory arranges production (7–14 days) → container loading (a 40HQ can load about 7,000–9,000 m²) → sea freight (arrival in Tema: 28–32 days)

4. Port customs clearance

You can hire an agent to handle customs clearance.
Clearance time: 3–7 days

5. Domestic transportation in Ghana

Arrange according to your project timeline and location.

Expert Tip: Based on our past experience, we recommend consulting MightyGrass during the tendering stage. Football field sub-base construction typically requires 30–40 days, and the timeline from order production to arrival in Ghana matches this period perfectly.
Timely delivery is an extremely important factor that should not be overlooked — proper scheduling ensures smooth project completion.
