FAI Small-Sided Games Pitch Dimensions

Where pitches are marked on an existing 11-a-side Pitch with white lines, the lines for the small-sided games should be clearly distinguishable. We recommend using BLUE for all small-sided pitch markings played on a pitch with existing white Lines.

If marking out a 9-a-side on an 11-a-side pitch that is 90m in length (a minimum-sized pitch), we recommend placing the goals on the edge of the 6-yard box.

Retreat Lines: Divide pitch into thirds. Applies only to 4v4, 5v5, 7v7.

It could be marked with a broken blue or white line across the pitch.
