PitchPower wins at Sports Business Awards

On Friday (10 November), the Football Foundation’s PitchPower scooped the Sports Technology of the Year trophy and took home the silver for Sports Innovation award at this year’s Sports Business Awards. 

PitchPower is the Football Foundation’s game-changing pitch inspection web app which is transforming the quality of the nation’s grass pitches. 

Robert Sullivan, CEO of the Football Foundation, said: “PitchPower forms a key part of our ambition to revolutionise the quality of grass pitches across the country. We know grass pitches are the backbone of grassroots sport. Yet every season, thousands of games are called off due to unplayable pitches. 

“A big thank you to our Funding Partners – the Premier League, The FA and Government, the Grounds Management Association and the Football Foundation team for all the work put in to make PitchPower a reality.

"Better quality pitches create more opportunities for people to get active and experience the many benefits of playing sport. We look forward to continuing to unlock the power of pitches through PitchPower to transform lives and communities across the country.”
