New Mini‑Pitch Brings Football Energy to BC Bliesheim

The longstanding club BC Bliesheim 1927, nestled in the Erftstadt district near Cologne, has just unveiled a custom SoccerGround Classic mini‑pitch measuring approximately 65 by 42 feet. With netting along the perimeter and LED floodlights installed, the pitch is now a year‑round centerpiece for club activity, youth training, and neighborhood play.

Designed for Grassroots Development

This classic installation features robust rebound boards and professional turf that meets German Football Association (DFB) standards—ideal for club matches, technical drills, and after‑school youth programs. It is engineered to accommodate regular use while ensuring safe and consistent performance.

Illuminated Play, Every Season

Equipped with LED floodlighting, the court now supports training sessions well into the evening hours. This lighting upgrade significantly extends the usable hours for players and helps Bliesheim serve the community even during shorter winter days or transitional months.

Championing Club Culture and Community

For BC Bliesheim, the pitch stands as more than a play area—it’s a symbol of club spirit, volunteer engagement, and a commitment to inclusive sport. Local coaches, parents, and club members actively manage youth camps, small-sided drills, and open play sessions that leverage the new infrastructure.

A Model for DFB Grassroots Engagement

This installation reflects broader efforts in Germany to bring high-quality sport spaces to local clubs. Compact but thoughtfully designed, it enhances accessibility to physical activity and promotes social cohesion within the Erftstadt community.

Looking Forward: Play for All

Between youth programs, evening trainings, and casual community pickup games, the mini-pitch at BC Bliesheim already enriches daily life. It's a strong example of how local clubs can transform modest spaces into lasting centers for athletic and social growth.
