Ransomes and Jacobsen mowers supporting FIFA World Cup in Brazil
Ransomes Mastiff walk-behind mowers built in Ipswich, UK and Jacobsen Tri-King ride-on triples manufactured in Charlotte, USA are being used to maintain
stadium pitches and training facilities at the FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
The most prestigious venue at the tournament, the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janiero, which will host the final of the competition, is being mown with
both types of mower, although the Mastiff will be used for match day preparation.
The other venues using Ransomes Jacobsen equipment are Arena de Baixada in Curitiba, which hosts Australia’s final Group B game against Spain on June 23,
Arena de Sao Paulo, Arena Pernambuco in Recife and Estadio Mineirao in Belo Horizonte.
Jacobsen Tri-King mowers are also being used at several training venues including the Australian training camp at Vitoria in Espirito Santo, Portugal’s
training centre at Campinas at Sao Paulo and Mexico, who are using the training facilities of Santos, again in Sao Paulo.
Alan Prickett, Managing Director of Ransomes Jacobsen commented t he FIFA World Cup is the biggest single-event sporting competition in the world and once
again, mowers manufactured by his businesses in the UK and USA are being used at this global sporting event.
“The final at the Maracana on July 13 will attract a television audience in excess of 300 million people around the globe, all watching the game on a playing
surface prepared by mowers made in Ipswich. I think everyone connected with the business can take pride in that!”
