Pitch Perfect: The Science of Toronto’s World-Class Soccer Fields | Your Morning

FIFA's requirements for World Cup grass are among the strictest in the world, covering everything from the hybrid fiber ratio to the exact speed at which a ball must roll. We continue our conversation with Robert Heggie, Director of Grounds at MLSE, to explore what makes the Toronto stadium’s grass truly 'special.' Heggie reveals the high-tech 'hybrid turf' system that weaves synthetic fibers with natural grass for ultimate durability and explains the rigorous 'pitch testing'—measuring moisture, hardness, and traction—that happens daily. This is a fascinating look at the precision engineering and horticultural expertise required to meet the 'Gold Standard' of global soccer. #FIFA #Soccer #canadasoccer #canadanews Subscribe to Your Morning for the latest: http://bit.ly/2hX11GF Connect with Your Morning: https://www.ctv.ca/shows/your-morning Follow Your Morning on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@yourmorningctv Start YOUR MORNING with us.
