From Europe to Brazil, the NFL’s Game Plan Included COVERMASTER®

Turf protection at international stadiums was essential to NFL excellence on the field.

COVERMASTER® is renowned around the globe for being a world leader in sports surface protection. For the 2025 season, the National Football League (NFL) will bring American football to its millions of fans in Europe and South America. Just like the many NFL teams who are longtime customers of COVERMASTER®, the NFL once again turned to COVERMASTER® to provide turf protection at the stadiums their teams will be playing in.

In Dublin, Ireland, the Pittsburgh Steelers will play against the Minnesota Vikings at Croke Park. Over in Madrid, Spain, the Miami Dolphins will be the designated “home team” against the Washington Commanders at iconic, 78 thousand-seat Bernabéu Stadium – a soccer pitch that retracts to an American football field. In São Paulo, Brazil, the Los Angeles Chargers will be the designated “home” team facing off against the Kansas City Chiefs at Corinthians Arena, home to Brazilian soccer team. Since 2022, the NFL has successfully played games in Germany and this year will be at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

For sports field turf protection at all four stadiums, the NFL ordered ENKAMAT FLATBACK™ from COVERMASTER® to withstand the weight of thousands of people and staging equipment as required. They also ordered EVERGREEN® ORIGINAL TURF COVERS to promote thicker turf growth with better color. This will ensure the best possible turf for NFL teams at these international locations. All thanks to proven COVERMASTER® turf protection.
