Chelsea FC Academy Indoor Arena

Objective

Manufacture, deliver and install Football goals, team shelters, soccer arena with netting, and spectator stands.

After successfully supplying Chelsea’s stadium at Stamford Bridge with new stadium and training goals,
MH Goals was asked to supply a range of equipment for the their new indoor arena.

The arena is part of Chelsea’s impressive Cobham training ground and will be used by the academy for training, competitive matches and as a winter facility. As the pitch is to be used for a variety of activities everything needed to be portable, easy to move, and able to withstand
heavy use.

Chelsea requested that the pitch be completely enclosed with spectator barrier and floor to roof netting. Neither of these items is standard and MH Goals provided and installed a bespoke solution unique to Chelsea’s arena. Pitch access was also needed for both maintenance and emergency vehicles; again MH Goals sourced a number of custom-made gates for vehicle and pedestrian access.

Fully portable spectator seating that could comfortably seat 30 people was required and this was sourced and installed by MH Goals.

To finish the project off, four Mini Soccer and four 9v9 Pro Stadium Wheeled Goals were supplied and installed. These goals give a match day feel and are fully portable; the smaller sizes also suit the age range of the academy
