A soccer pitch allows players to play on a designated area. This space is marked with a goalline and touchline. A flag of five feet high is placed at the four corners. An optional line is drawn outside the pitch, approximately ten feet from the corners. The pitch also has technical areas, which are rectangles drawn around a designated seating area for team officials.
Goal lines
The soccer field's boundaries are known as goal lines. They are the boundary lines of a soccer field. A penalty kick is when one of these lines is crossed and the ball is returned to play.
Touchlines
Touchlines are long lines that run along the sides and edges of a rectangular soccer pitch. Play is stopped if a soccer ball crosses these lines. Throw-ins are won by the team that hasn't touched the ball in the last five minutes. Players and coaches cannot enter the pitch while it is in play. To avoid this problem, most dugouts have been placed on one side. In other sports, touchlines can also be called sidelines.
Center circle
The center circle in a soccer pitch represents the point where the ball is played. The circle has a radius 10 yards. It is enclosed by a circle with one-yard radius in each corner. The only players allowed within the center circle are the goalkeeper or the current penalty taker.
Half-spaces
The half-spaces on a soccer pitch are important spaces in the field that a team must use to create chances. These spaces are often used by the attacking team to move the ball towards a central area. They may be behind the defence, or they might have a forward pull-back cross.
Goal area
The goal area, or center point, is the central point on a soccerfield. It is where kick-off takes place. The field is marked with a goal line. This line connects to two other lines at right angles. The goal line is approximately 16m long (or 18yds). The goal line is also marked with a central circle. This area cannot be accessed by any team during play.
Penalty arcs
Penalty circles are circles placed on top of the penalty zone. The arc is not a half circle but a full circle that ensures that each player is a fixed distance from the ball, which helps prevent the ball from being redirected and scoring a goal.
Field size
The field size is critical to soccer. The field should be at least 90 meters long and at least 80 meters wide. There must be at least 1.5m of extra space between the goal line and the field. These are the FIFA official dimensions for the field, but they can be modified by federations and competitors. The field should be rectangular in shape, with lines marking the boundaries.
