There is a touchdown zone 10-22 meters deep behind the touchdown line, and the bottom line of the zone is the dead ball line. There is a goal in the center of the touchdown line. The goalposts are 5.6 meters apart and connected by a horizontal bar 3 meters high.

The two are almost the same. The specifics depend on the stadium format. For example, football is divided into five-a-side, seven-a-side and 11-a-side.

For example, a regular football field in international competitions is generally 120 meters long and 90 meters wide. The goal is 2.44 meters high and 7.32 meters wide. The rugby field is 100 meters long and 80 meters wide. The two short sides are the touchdown lines. There is a touchdown zone 10-22 meters deep behind the touchdown line. The bottom line of the zone is the dead ball line. There are goals in the center of the touchdown line. The goalposts are 5.6 meters apart and connected by a horizontal bar 3 meters high. Friends, do you know which one is bigger, the tennis court or the badminton court?

Are Asian footballs the same size as European footballs?

The size of a football field is actually not uniform, but has a range.

Most of the venues in China are multi-functional sports fields with plastic tracks on the outside. Many European stadiums are dedicated football fields without plastic tracks.


Regular football field size: Venue: 105 meters long and 68 meters wide;

Goal: 7.32 meters long, 2.44 meters high;
Large penalty area (penalty area): 40.32 meters long, 16.5 meters wide, 16.5 meters away from the goal post on the bottom line;
Small penalty area (goal area): 18.32 meters long, 5.5 meters wide, 5.5 meters away from the goal post on the bottom line;
Middle circle area: radius 9.15 meters;
Corner kick area: radius 1 meter, 13.84 meters away from the penalty area;
Penalty kick arc: a semicircle with the penalty point as the center and a radius of 9.15 meters;
Penalty kick point: 11 meters from the goal line. The football playing field is rectangular. Its length shall not be greater than 120 meters or less than 90 meters, and its width shall not be greater than 90 meters or less than 45 meters. In any case, the length must exceed the width.

The material, size, and weight of footballs used in Asian and European competitions must comply with FIFA requirements and may vary. This difference has nothing to do with the continent.
