World Cup soccer fields are typically 105 meters long by 68 meters wide — about 115 yards by 74 yards. That size is the FIFA standard for top-level international play, including World Cup matches.

Quick Scoop

  • Length: 105 m, or about 115 yd.
  • Width: 68 m, or about 74 yd.
  • That makes the pitch about 7,140 square meters, or roughly 1.76 acres.

Why it matters

The field is large enough to give teams room to spread out, which is why World Cup matches can feel more open than many local games. FIFA uses this standard so every team plays on the same size surface.

Small note

Some non-World Cup soccer fields can vary a bit in size, but World Cup venues are set to the same dimensions for consistency.
