“You play as you train”

New Real Betis Balompié Sports City Project in Seville.
Real Betis Sports City

Few statements in the world of football garner unanimous applause. This is one of them. And considering that we’re talking about the new sports city of Real Betis Balompié in Dos Hermanas (Seville), it’s easy to imagine that most training days unfold under the sun. 

We confirmed: it rains an average of 52 days a year in this area. Yet, what truly catches the eye in images of these facilities is the lush green hue of its 15 training fields. How does one achieve such pristine grass carpets in such an arid region? The answer lies in watering—though not just any watering. 

“ULMA, warm up: you’re on” 

If you need high performance sports drainage channels, contact us here.

To ensure that Real Betis’ training fields remain in prime condition, we haven installed different drainage systems around all football pitches.  For example, a total of 3,640 ml of SU200 + FNX200UCCM. This high-capacity system effectively manages large water volumes, preventing waterlogging and ensuring smooth, safe gameplay. Here are some of its key advantages:

  • SU200 channel with enhanced grip: Specifically designed for football pitches, this channel features rounded edges for better grip on artificial turf. 
  • Durability and resilience: Constructed from high-strength materials capable of withstanding heavy loads and adverse weather conditions.
  • Easy maintenance: Designed to ensure easy accessibility and maintain optimal functionality over time.

Efficiency at every step

The runways within the sports city are equipped with 430 ml of DOMOH50 + GP100UCA channels, designed for compact spaces yet maintaining efficient drainage without compromising aesthetic appeal. This compact and robust system is ideal for pedestrian areas, ensuring both safety and durability. 

Versatility in facility design

Furthermore, 645 ml of EUROSELFV+H95 + GP100UCA channels have been strategically installed across various areas of the facilities. This versatile, high-performance system ensures effective water drainage, mitigating the risk of water accumulation and potential turf damage. Maintaining the well-being of both players and facilities remains our foremost objective. 

We take great pride in the achieved outcome and are delighted to share this sentiment with the Betis legend after whom the sports complex is named, Rafael Gordillo. On the day of the inauguration, he expressed, “seeing my name in these magnificent facilities fills me with pride and happiness”. It feels like I’m making my début again with Betis; I am equally thrilled and confident that this place will continue to produce great players.” 

Let the game begin.
