Contract Value: £2 million

Overview

Smith Construction is proud to be delivering the next phase of football improvements at Southampton’s Outdoor Sports Centre, a key development supported by the Football Foundation.

The works involve replacing four existing grass pitches with three new floodlit 3G all-weather surfaces — one full-size (11v11) and two smaller (9v9) pitches — significantly increasing the site’s year-round playing capacity.

The project focuses on delivering a safe, efficient construction programme and a high-performance finish, ensuring long-term quality and accessibility for players across the city.
