Mike Clary. The outlook for Sunday calls for partly sunny skies, with gusty winds off the ocean that will make for hazardous boating conditions in the open Atlantic and pose a threat of rip currents for swimmers. Still, it promises to be a pretty good day to be outside, said forecaster Andrew Hagen at the... Weather.
What is the official size of a soccer field? FIFA, the international body of soccer, dictates that fields must be 100 to 130 yards long by 50 to 100 yards wide. FIFA adopted the large range to satisfy different nations' preferred styles of play.
Both are about the same length, though soccer is about 20 yards wider. And there's a lot more running in soccer. Soccer is played by two teams of 11 players each. The field for international matches is in the range of 110-120 yards long and 70-80 yards wide. The length must always be greater than the width. American football has 11 players per side. The field is 120 yards long (100 yards of playing field with two 10 yard end zones) and 53 1/3 yards wide. I would love to play soccer, but I'm still trying to break the 10-minute barrier on the treadmill. 90 minutes would kill me.
