FC Dordrecht, Helmond Sport, Almere City FC, SBV Excelsior, FC Volendam, FC Den Bosch, FC Oss and VVV Venlo will train and play on Evolution XQ or Greenfields MX, two types of synthetic turf of TenCate.

The initiative to install synthetic turf in the stadium of these clubs was taken by the Coöperatie Eerste Divisie (CED) in close cooperation with Hypercube consultancy and KYBYS engineering. The CED represents the interests of the clubs in the Jupiler League and supports them in the further professionalization of the Jupiler League.

An important advantage of synthetic turf is that clubs are less weather dependent and therefore can give more continuity to their training. In addition, the number of cancellations will significantly decrease and coaches and players can train and play on the same surface.
