Standard football turf specifications selection

As one of the most popular sports in the world, football has strict and professional requirements for the construction of competition venues. Artificial turf has become the preferred material for modern football field construction due to its excellent durability, all-weather applicability and easy maintenance. This article will comprehensively introduce the artificial turf specifications, filling systems, field layout and safety performance of standard football fields to help you build a high-performance football field that meets international standards.

Field size and area range

The size of a standard 11-a-side football field should meet the FIFA certification standards:

Total field area: about 6400㎡~8250㎡

Length (long side): 100 meters to 110 meters

Width (short side): 64 meters to 75 meters

This size range can be used for both professional events and amateur training and school sports facilities.

Core parameters of artificial turf

High-quality artificial turf is the key to the performance of football fields, and its structural parameters should meet the following standards:

Grass height: 50mm~65mm

Provide moderate ball speed and sports cushioning, which helps reduce sports injuries

Grass density: 9500~10500 needles/㎡

Ensure the coverage and visual beauty of the field and improve service life

Fiber strength (DETX value): above 6000

Indicates the thickness and toughness of the grass fibers, which can resist frequent friction and pulling

Professional filling system configuration

Artificial turf football fields need to be equipped with high-quality filling materials to improve sports performance, buffering capacity and drainage effects:

1. Quartz sand filling

Particle size: 0.3~1.5mm

Silicon content: not less than 90%, to ensure stability and environmental protection

Recommended filling amount: 20~30kg/㎡

Function: increase lawn stability and enhance support

2. Rubber particle filling

Particle size: 1~3mm

Recommended filling amount: 5~8kg/㎡

Function: Improve elasticity and resilience, reduce sports impact

Standard venue functional area design

1. Penalty area demarcation rules

Draw two vertical lines of 16.5 meters long at both ends of the goal line, perpendicular to the goal line

Connect with the goal line to form a rectangle to form the penalty area

Set the penalty point 11 meters from the midpoint of the goal line to the field vector

2. Penalty arc setting

With the penalty point as the center, draw an arc with a radius of 9.15 meters to form a penalty arc

Used to specify the position restriction area of ​​other players during penalty kicks

Goal structure and size regulations

Goal configuration standards

Goal width: 7.32 meters (distance between two posts)

Goal height: 2.44 meters (ground to crossbar)

Thickness of posts and crossbars: ≤12 cm, and must be symmetrical

Whether it is a fixed or mobile goal, it must be installed firmly to avoid the risk of tipping and injuring people.
