Can you name the biggest, most popular, most played and watched sport in the world? If you guessed football, you’d be right, or wrong…depending on where you are from! The real “fútbol” (or “soccer”, as it’s known in the United States), is the most popular sport in the world. Some sources estimate the number of worldwide football fans at over 3.5 billion! Sorry United States, but “American Football” is estimated to have only 400 million worldwide fans (tied, with basketball, for 10th on the worldwide list of most popular sports). With such a popularity, it only makes sense that the FIFA World Cup is the most watched sporting event in the world. The event is so great, that it only takes place once every four years!
Now imagine planning and preparing for such an event on such a massive world stage! Oftentimes, the planning and preparation for the sport’s stars begins 4-6-8 years in advance of the event!! We’re not talking about Messi or Ronaldo here, we’re talking about the sport’s real star…the beautiful, thick, luscious, emerald green carpet on which the sport’s “other” stars play.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup will be held in Doha, Qatar and Hummert International is right now, a key supplier to the various turf contractors who are currently cultivating and growing the perfect turf that will be used on the football fields in Doha in 2022. From the soil to the Hydro Seeders, Hummert International has been (and will continue to be) a source for these contractors for all the materials and equipment needed to grow the perfect turf.
But turf isn’t all they do at Hummert International. From soil to state-of-the-art greenhouses and everything in-between, they are a worldwide provider of horticultural materials, supplies, and equipment. If you are in the business of growing, whether you’re down the street or halfway across the world, Hummert has the products, knowledge, and service to help.
