The TFC’s new KIA Academy and Training Centre has set the stage for a new era in the development of professional soccer in North America. The facility includes new natural and artificial turf fields and a two-storey 40,000 SF building that provides a new home for the team with new dressing rooms for the First Team and Youth Academy teams.
Two of the other turf fields have the latest “sub-air” technology, which utilizes the sub-grade drainage system as a way to dry the pitch faster after a rain event, as well as heat the sub-grade in the early spring months to provide a longer growing season for the turf, and allow an earlier start-date for spring training.
