Asahi Glass Co. said on June 6 that it will provide the world's first glass roofs for player and official benches at the FIFA Confederations Cup Brazil 2013 tournament in Brazil between June 15 and 30.
The roofs, incorporating the company's Dragontrail glass covering technology, will be used at all 16 matches of the tournament, a prelude to the 2014 World Cup. Conventional bench roofs in stadiums are made from plastic.
Composition of the new roofs includes three layers of Dragontrail, a high-performance, flexible and highly scratch-resistant glass used in smartphone, tablet and television displays. The glass is resistant to deformation, discoloration and deterioration, remaining transparent over a long period of time.
