[5/9, 4:26 PM] Mourinho FIFA: However I will like to remind us on some definitions on the field of play... Which includes... Field surface, the markings on the field, dimensions, dimensions for international matches, the goal area, penalty area and so on that maybe really be of use to you...
These are standard dimensions and definition
[5/9, 4:32 PM] Mourinho FIFA: The field of play must be rectangular and marked with continuous lines which must not be dangerous; artificial playing surface material may be used for the field markings on natural fields if it is not dangerous. These lines belong to the areas of which they are boundaries.
Only the lines indicated in Law 1 are to be marked on the field of play. Where artificial surfaces are used, other lines are permitted provided they are a different colour and clearly distinguishable from the football lines.
The two longer boundary lines are touchlines. The two shorter lines are goal lines.
The field of play is divided into two halves by a halfway line, which joins the midpoints of the two touchlines.
The centre mark is at the midpoint of the halfway line. A circle with a radius of 9.15 m (10 yds) is marked around it.
Marks may be made off the field of play 9.15 m (10 yds) from the corner arc at right angles to the goal lines and the touchlines.
All lines must be of the same width, which must not be more than 12 cm (5 ins). The goal lines must be of the same width as the goalposts and the crossbar.
[5/9, 4:34 PM] Mourinho FIFA: The touchline must be longer than the goal line.
Length (touchline):
minimum 90 m (100 yds)
maximum 120 m (130 yds)
Length (goal line):
minimum 45 m (50 yds)
maximum 90 m (100 yds)
[5/9, 4:37 PM] Mourinho FIFA: Dimensions for international matches
Length (touchline):
minimum 100 m (110 yds)
maximum 110 m (120 yds)
Length (goal line):
minimum 64 m (70 yds)
maximum 75 m (80 yds)
Competitions may determine the length of the goal line and touchline within the above dimensions.
Measurements are from the outside of the lines as the lines are part of the area they enclose.
The penalty mark is measured from the centre of the mark to the back edge of the goal line.

[5/9, 4:38 PM] Mourinho FIFA: *Goal area*
Two lines are drawn at right angles to the goal line, 5.5 m (6 yds) from the inside of each goalpost. These lines extend into the field of play for 5.5 m (6 yds) and are joined by a line drawn parallel with the goal line. The area bounded by these lines and the goal line is the goal area.
[5/9, 4:39 PM] Mourinho FIFA: *The penalty area*
Two lines are drawn at right angles to the goal line, 16.5 m (18 yds) from the inside of each goalpost. These lines extend into the field of play for 16.5 m (18 yds) and are joined by a line drawn parallel with the goal line. The area bounded by these lines and the goal line is the penalty area.
Within each penalty area, a penalty mark is made 11 m (12 yds) from the midpoint between the goalposts.
An arc of a circle with a radius of 9.15 m (10 yds) from the centre of each penalty mark is drawn outside the penalty area.
[5/9, 4:40 PM] Mourinho FIFA: *CORNER AREA*
The corner area is defined by a quarter circle with a radius of 1 m (1 yd) from each corner flagpost drawn inside the field of play
[5/9, 4:41 PM] Mourinho FIFA: *FLAGPOSTS*
A flagpost, at least 1.5 m (5 ft) high, with a non-pointed top and a flag must be placed at each corner.
Flagposts may be placed at each end of the halfway line, at least 1 m (1 yd) outside the touchline.
[5/9, 4:43 PM] Mourinho FIFA: *THE TECHNICAL AREA*
The technical area relates to matches played in stadiums with a designated seated area for team officials, substitutes and substituted players as outlined below:
the technical area should only extend 1 m (1 yd) on either side of the designated seated area and up to a distance of 1 m (1 yd) from the touchline
markings should be used to define the area
the number of persons permitted to occupy the technical area is defined by the competition rules
the occupants of the technical area:
are identified before the start of the match in accordance with the competition rules
must behave in a responsible manner
must remain within its confines except in special circumstances, e.g. a physiotherapist/doctor entering the field of play, with the referee’s permission, to assess an injured player
only one person at a time is authorised to convey tactical instructions from the technical area
[5/9, 4:45 PM] Mourinho FIFA: *GOALS*
A goal must be placed on the centre of each goal line.
A goal consists of two vertical posts equidistant from the corner flagposts and joined at the top by a horizontal crossbar. The goalposts and crossbar must be made of approved material. They must be square, rectangular, round or elliptical in shape and must not be dangerous.
The distance between the inside of the posts is 7.32 m (8 yds) and the distance from the lower edge of the crossbar to the ground is 2.44 m (8 ft).
The goalposts and the crossbar must be white and have the same width and depth, which must not exceed 12 cm (5 ins).
*If the crossbar becomes displaced or broken, play is stopped until it has been repaired or replaced in position. Play is restarted with a dropped ball. If it can not be repaired the match must be abandoned. A rope or any flexible or dangerous material may not replace the crossbar.
*
Nets may be attached to the goals and the ground behind the goal; they must be properly supported and must not interfere with the goalkeeper.
Safety
Goals (including portable goals) must be firmly secured to the ground.
