DLF PROVIDE SEED FOR EUROS
Stade de France and other grounds utilising
For the opening match of the European Championships on Friday, when France beat Romania at the Stade de France, the pitch was seeded with DLF seed.
The company says this venue, along with most of the tournament's 10 host stadiums and 60 training grounds have chosen their seed to provide the hard-wearing turf a championship demands.

With the responsibility to meet UEFA standards, the majority of the tournaments groundsmen have overseeded their pitches with mixtures of perennial ryegrass from the DLF brands Top Green Eurosport and Johnsons Sports Seed. The company says Top Green Eurosport combines the fineness of leaf, the shoot density, and the wear-tolerance of its top varieties of diploid turf perennials with the persistence, stress-tolerance, and disease-resistance of 4turf®.
Benoit Petitjean, General Manager of DLF France commented, “We are excited to contribute our turf grasses to the majority of the French football stadiums, including the Stade de France which is staging both the opening match and the final. We are confident that the performance of our sports grasses won’t let the players or the fans down.”
