Ethiopia Expands Youth Training System, Football Academies Build Artificial Turf Training Grounds Across the Country

Ethiopia vigorously supports the development of youth football, and football academies in various regions are accelerating the construction of training grounds.

Youth training venues bear long-term daily intensive training, which causes severe wear and high repair costs for natural grass. Artificial turf supports all-weather uninterrupted training and reduces the frequency of venue renovation. Many youth training bases have built contiguous artificial turf training grounds for daily echelon training and regional youth football leagues. Stable and reliable training venues can continuously tap the potential of local young players.

Industry insiders believe that the popularization of artificial turf will steadily boost the long-term development of Ethiopia's youth football training system.
