RC Mechelen installs Belgium’s first Edel Twinblade mineral filled football pitch
RC Mechelen has upgraded its football facilities with a new artificial turf football pitch in Mechelen, Belgium. Completed in June 2026, the project transformed the club’s natural grass field into a modern playing surface using our approved and innovative Edel Twinblade mineral filled system with 38 mm pile height.
A landmark project for Belgian football
This installation marks an important milestone for football infrastructure in Belgium. It is the second mineral-filled artificial turf football pitch in the country and the first to feature the Edel Twinblade system. The project demonstrates how innovative turf technology is helping football clubs create sustainable, future-ready sports facilities.



Designed for intensive use
The new pitch features the Edel Twinblade turf with a latex backing built on a shockpad with a mineral stabilizing infill, also enhancing player interaction. Engineered for intensive use, the system delivers consistent ball behaviour, reliable traction, and excellent player comfort while requiring significantly less maintenance than a natural grass field.
Prepared for FIFA testing, the surface doesn’t need traditional SBR performance infill. It is designed to meet the demands of modern football clubs that require durability and maximum pitch availability throughout the season.


Investing in the future
With its new artificial turf football pitch, RC Mechelen can provide players with a high-quality surface for both training sessions and matches, regardless of the weather. The investment ensures more playing hours, greater reliability, and a long-lasting solution that supports the club’s sporting ambitions.
At Edel Grass, we are committed to developing innovative artificial turf systems that combine performance, durability, and sustainability. The RC Mechelen project is another example of how our football turf solutions help clubs build facilities that are ready for the future.
