How We Deliver Rectangular Fields That Pass Competition Inspection??
A semi-professional soccer club in Dandenong South called us before their FFA Cup qualifying match. The visiting team's officials had measured the pitch and found the penalty areas were marked 15.5 metres instead of the required 16.5 metres. The match was at risk of being forfeited. We arrived at 6am, stripped the incorrect markings, and had the pitch correctly marked by 10am. The match went ahead, and the club has used us for every marking since.Soccer and rugby fields look simple, but the dimensional requirements are exacting. A FIFA-compliant soccer pitch needs penalty areas exactly 16.5m from the goal line and 40.3m wide. The penalty spot sits exactly 11m from the goal line. The penalty arc has a 9.15m radius from the penalty spot. Get any of these wrong and you've got a non-compliant pitch.Rugby fields have their own complexity. The 22-metre line must be exactly 22 metres from the try line. The 10-metre lines either side of halfway must be precisely measured. In-goal areas need to be marked consistently. For rugby league versus rugby union, the dimensions differ, and we need to know which code we're marking for.We learned an embarrassing lesson at a rugby ground in Geelong in 2016.

Compliance Standards
FIFA Laws of the Game Field Markings
FIFA specifies goal areas of 5.5m x 18.32m, penalty areas of 16.5m x 40.32m, centre circles of 9.15m radius, and corner arcs of 1m radius. All lines must be the same width (maximum 12cm) and continuous.
World Rugby Field of Play Requirements
World Rugby Laws specify maximum playing area of 100m x 70m, 22-metre lines, 10-metre lines from halfway, and in-goal areas between 10m-22m deep. Dead ball lines and touch-in-goal lines complete the layout.
NRL Playing Field Specifications
NRL rules specify playing field of 100m x 68m with in-goal areas of 6m-11m. The 10-metre zone from halfway and 20-metre restart lines differ from rugby union requirements.
Football Australia Pitch Standards
Football Australia specifies pitch dimensions for different competition levels, from 90m-120m length for senior competitions to modified dimensions for junior football formats.
Goal Post Placement Requirements
FIFA requires goal posts on the goal line with 7.32m internal width and 2.44m height. Rugby goals require posts 5.6m apart with crossbar at 3m height. Marking must align precisely with installed goals.
Technical Area and Substitution Zone Marking
FIFA specifies technical areas extending 1m either side of seating areas and 1m from touchline. Substitution zones for competitions requiring them have specific dimensional requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Rugby union fields can have in-goal areas up to 22m deep, while rugby league specifies 6m-11m. The 22-metre line in union becomes a 20-metre line in league. We confirm which code before marking to ensure compliance with the correct rulebook.
We measure from multiple reference points and cross-check. The penalty area extends 16.5m from the goal line and 16.5m either side of each goal post. We verify with laser measurement and physical tape before marking, catching any discrepancies before paint goes down.
Yes, we mark all Football Australia recommended sizes from MiniRoos small-sided formats through to full-size senior pitches. Each age group has specific dimensional requirements and we maintain a reference sheet for every format.
On natural turf with regular play, expect 3 to 6 weeks of visibility before touch-up is needed. High-traffic areas like goal mouths and centre field wear faster. We offer maintenance packages to keep your fields match-ready throughout the season.
Yes, for competitions that require them. Technical areas, substitution zones, and fourth official positions all have specific dimensional requirements. Tell us your competition level and we'll include all required markings.
Typically white for the primary code and yellow for secondary. Some facilities use blue for the third code. We'll discuss colour combinations that provide clear differentiation while remaining visible on your turf type.
