With a career in the Sports Turf Industry spanning 25 years, Simon has a wealth of knowledge and experience to share. Simon’s early career was spent with the contracting company D&D Curators, where he specialised in the preparation and maintenance of bowling greens and cricket wickets among other fine turf disciplines. Simon has been the Turf Manager at Coopers Stadium, home to Adelaide United Football Club, since 2015, producing what is regarded as one of the best playing surfaces in the Australian Soccer League.

The stadium has received multiple “Playing Surface Of The Year” awards from both the women’s and men’s A League. In addition, the venue hosts regular concerts, events and different sporting codes, cementing Coopers Stadium as a multiuse venue. Most recently Simon oversaw and led the preparation and delivery of the playing surface for what was the largest women’s sporting event to date, the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Today Simon is here to talk about the preperation and experience hosting such an event.
