Creating a football pitch is one thing. Creating a professional-looking football pitch in places it was never meant to exist is something else entirely. At ARTTRAGrass®, we specialise in temporary artificial grass and bespoke temporary football pitches for unusual, high-pressure environments — from moving vessels on the River Thames to controlled film studio sets used by Premier League clubs and global brands.
As major tournaments like World Cup 2026 approach, this level of specialist experience is exactly what event organisers, production companies and agencies need.
A Floating Football Pitch on the River Thames
One of ARTTRAGrass’s most distinctive projects took place during Euro 2016, when we were tasked with creating a bespoke football pitch for the MBNA Clipper boats on the River Thames.
This wasn’t a standard installation.
The pitch had to:
- Be installed on a moving vessel
- Maintain a professional football appearance
- Perform safely for players and filming
- Be installed and removed without damaging the boat
The result was a bespoke temporary football pitch, designed specifically for the constraints of a marine environment — something only achievable with specialist planning, materials and installation expertise.
This project demonstrated what ARTTRAGrass® does best: bringing football to environments where real turf or permanent systems simply aren’t possible.
Replicating Professional Football Pitches in Film Studios
ARTTRAGrass® has also created football pitches inside film studios, designed to replicate the look and feel of professional playing surfaces for TV commercials and branded content featuring Premier League football clubs.
These studio-based pitches require a different level of precision:
- Consistent colour and texture under studio lighting
- Camera-ready visuals for broadcast and advertising
- Safe performance for professional players
- Fast turnaround to meet production schedules
Temporary artificial grass allows production teams to create authentic football environments inside studios, without compromising on realism or safety.

Why Bespoke Temporary Football Pitches Matter
High-profile football projects don’t happen in ideal conditions.
They happen:
- On water
- Indoors
- In public spaces
- Under broadcast deadlines
- With no margin for error
This is where bespoke temporary football grass becomes essential.
Rather than using off-the-shelf event flooring, ARTTRAGrass® designs each pitch around:
- The environment
- The duration of use
- The level of play or interaction
- The visual requirements for media and branding
This bespoke approach is what allows ARTTRAGrass® to deliver pitches that look authentic and perform reliably — even in the most unconventional locations.

Experience That Transfers Directly to World Cup 2026 Events
The same expertise used on rivers and in studios is directly applicable to World Cup 2026 activations, including:
- Fan zones
- Brand activations
- Media events
- Broadcast installations
- Pop-up football experiences
Major tournaments amplify complexity. Temporary installations must be flawless, scalable and fast.

FAQs: Bespoke Temporary Football Pitches
What is a bespoke temporary football pitch?
A bespoke temporary football pitch is a custom-designed artificial grass installation created for a specific environment, duration and purpose. Unlike standard event grass, it is tailored to meet performance, safety and visual requirements.
Can football pitches really be installed on water or indoors?
Yes. With specialist planning and materials, temporary football pitches can be installed in unconventional environments such as boats, rooftops and film studios. These installations require bespoke design and experienced installation teams.
Why are bespoke football pitches used for TV and film productions?
TV and film productions require football pitches that look authentic on camera while fitting inside controlled environments. Bespoke artificial grass allows producers to recreate professional football settings indoors without relying on stadium access.
How do bespoke pitches support major football tournaments?
Bespoke temporary pitches are ideal for tournaments like the World Cup because they allow football experiences to be created in fan zones, media locations and brand activations without permanent construction.
