Guidelines for Soccer Field Markings


A soccer field has a touch line (sideline) of 100 to 130 yards. The width is 50 to 100 yards. The penalty box (area) and the goal box (area) are marked in front of the goal. Both of these touch the goal line. The penalty box arc extends from the top of the penalty box. The penalty spot (mark) is centered in front of the goal. The center circle is on the halfway line. It reaches ten yards on either side of the halfway line. The field's corner arcs are located where the goal lines and touchlines meet. Each has a radius of 1 yard.
