The length of a pitch must be between 100 yards (90m) and 130 yards (120m) and the width not less than 50 yards (45m) and not more than 100 yards (90m).

And what about where most of the action happens – the penalty box?

It is also known as the 18-yard-box, with the smaller area – marked out inside it – called the six-yard-box.

This is where some of the world’s best strikers earn their living.

And for all you penalty takers – or savers – out there, the most famous spot in football sits 12 yards (11m) from goal.

Last, but not least, that wooden thing at each end of the pitch they call the goal.

Think you know how big it is? It’s eight feet high (2.44m) and eight yards wide (7.32m).
