Check soccer field dimensions.
The Laws of the Game allow a range rather than a fixed size — 90 to 120 m long and 45 to 90 m wide — with 105 by 68 m the standard for international matches. Area matters for groundskeeping as much as for play: at a typical 25 g per square metre seed rate, a full-size pitch takes around 180 kg of seed, and the perimeter determines fencing and boundary marking.
Pitch area and maintenance quantities
Pitch area = length x width for the chosen level; total area = (length + 2 x run-off) x (width + 2 x run-off); seed = area x seed rate / 1000
These figures are population-average estimates for training and recreational planning only and are not medical advice. Individual responses vary widely. Consult a qualified health professional before starting or significantly changing an exercise programme, particularly if you have any medical condition. Official dimensions, rules and timings should be confirmed against the governing body for your sport.
International matches use 105 by 68 metres. The Laws permit 90-120 m by 45-90 m, which is why club pitches vary noticeably in size.
At least 2 m beyond the touchlines and goal lines for safety, with more required at higher levels for technical areas, advertising and officials.
A 105 by 68 metre pitch is 7,140 square metres, or about 1.76 acres before run-off is added.
