DIMENSIONS OF FOOTBALL PITCHES BY FIFA

FOOTBALL TURF SIZE

Football turf size should be in accordance with the Laws of the Game. The field of play must be rectangular. The length of the touchline must be greater than the length of the goal line. FIFA recommendations for an 11-a-side football turf size in professional football are 100-130 yards (90-120m) long and 50-100 yards (45-90m) wide. The penalty area should measure 18 yards (16.45m) away from the centre of the goal line, while the penalty spot should be 12 yards (10.9m) from goal, regardless of the overall pitch size

RUN-OFF AREA

Where a natural turf football field uses artificial turf is within as the run-off area (starting directly on the outer limit of the touchlines and goal lines), the quality should reflect the high standard of the FIFA Quality Programme for Football Turf as it is an area which players and match officials interact on and with. Due to the use of artificial turf surfaces in the run-off areas around both natural and artificial turf playing fields, a simplified testing protocol based on the testing of Football Turf fields has been developed to ensure a minimum quality for these areas.
