Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- The touchline is also known as the sideline and is one of the boundaries of the football field.
- According to the Laws of the Game set by the International Football Association Board (IFAB), the touchline should measure between 100-110 meters (110-120 yards) in length.
- The exact length can vary depending on the stadium and the level of the competition being played.
- The field of play is rectangular and marked with lines called boundary lines. The two longer boundary lines are touchlines and the two shorter lines are goal lines. It is divided into two halves by a halfway line, which joins the midpoints of the two touch lines.
- The center mark is at the midpoint of the halfway line. A circle with a radius of 9.15m is marked around it.
- Marks are made off the field of play, 9.15m from the corner arc and at right angles to the goal lines and the touch lines, to ensure defending players retreat this distance when a corner kick is taken.
- The length of the touchline is greater than the length of the goal line. All lines are not more than 12cm wide.
- Length (touch line): Minimum 90m, maximum 120m.
- Width (goal line): Minimum 45m maximum 90m.
