New Installation: Belisario Porras | Act Global

A new multi-use pitch by Act Global was inaugurated on December 27 in the heart of Panama City.

Belisario Porras, the 50,000 square feet (5,000 square meter) facility featuring the Xtreme Turf F50 system with FB Global UVA tested fibres, will be used for baseball and soccer by school students and the local community. The objective of this field is to maximize the use of land in a densely populated area of the city. The field is equipped with LED illumination so the pitch can be used at night, and also features a building with bathrooms, dressing rooms, and a gathering space.

The site was made to support efforts from the Mayor’s Office of Panama to improve public spaces throughout its district.

Guillaume Loubersac, Act Global’s Technical Director, is excited about its completion. “We are very proud to be providing the City of Panama with this durable, high-class surface to help develop baseball and soccer in this part of the city,” said Loubersac. “We’re always happy to be involved with helping out local communities.”
