Futsal Pitch

Futsal pitch in Tokyo, on top of building


The pitch is a made up of wood or synthetic material, even though any even, smooth and non- coarse material may be used.
The span of the pitch is in the range 38-42 m (42-46 yd) and the width is in the range 18-25m in worldwide matches. For other matches, it can be from 25-42m (27-46 yd) in length, while the width can be 15-25m (16-27 yd), as long as the length of the longer boundary lines (touchlines) are greater than the shorter borders where the goals are position (goal lines).
Ahead of each goal is a region known as the penalty area. This region is created by outline quarter circles with a 6 m (7 yd) radius from the goal line, centred on the goalposts.
The line spot the edge of the penalty area is known as the penalty area line. The penalty area marks where the goalkeeper is permitted to handle the ball with his hands. The penalty mark is six metres from the goal line when it reaches the core of the goalpost. A penalty kick from the penalty spot is awarded if a player causes a foul inside the penalty area.
