A standard football pitch for professional senior matches is typically about 100 meters long and 64 meters wide (approximately 110 by 70 yards). However, pitch sizes can vary within certain regulations:
- FIFA and The FA regulations allow pitches to be between 90 to 120 meters in length and 45 to 90 meters in width.
- For Premier League matches, the standard pitch size is typically 105 meters long by 68 meters wide (115 yards by 74 yards).
- The total area of a typical football pitch can range from about 4,050 to 10,800 square meters (0.4 to 1 hectare).
Smaller pitches exist for variations like 5-a-side or youth matches, but for full 11-a-side games, the above dimensions are standard. In summary:
- Typical professional pitch: 100m x 64m (110yd x 70yd)
- Premier League pitch: 105m x 68m (115yd x 74yd)
- FA and FIFA range: Length 90-120m, Width 45-90m
These dimensions ensure pitches meet competition and tactical requirements while providing some flexibility for different stadiums and play styles.
