In soccer, the "regulation" width of the goal is 8 yards, or 24 feet. A goal that is marked by posts alone, that is, a goal that lacks a crossbar, might be used in special circumstances. But it is clearly not an "official" structure and does not meet the minimum requirements set down in the Laws of the Game.
The goal posts are placed eight yards apart at the center of each end of the field. I hope this answers my question
Soccer goal posts are 8 yards apart. Someone else care to document distance between American football posts?
The goal posts @ Collegiate and Professional levels are 18'6" (eighteen feet & six inches) apart, supended by a crossbar which is 10' (ten feet) off the ground. The uprights (the two posts) extend 30' (thirty feet) into the air, making for a total height of the goal posts of 40' (forty feet) off the ground in total.
The goal posts in the NFL and college are 18 feet, 6 inches apart. In high school, goal posts are 23 feet, 6 inches apart.
In 11-a-side soccer, which is the standard, the crossbar is 8 feet from the ground, and the inner edges of the goal posts are 24 feet (8 yards) apart.
To make a goal post for a soccer field, you will need two vertical posts and a horizontal crossbar. The posts should be 8 feet tall and the crossbar should be 8 yards long. Secure the posts in the ground about 8 yards apart and attach the crossbar at the top. Make sure the goal post is sturdy and securely anchored to the ground to withstand strong kicks and wind.
The field goal posts on an American football field are located at the back end line of the end zone, ten feet off the ground and extending straight up from there. Today, the support that holds the goal posts is usually several feet behind the end zone so players aren't impeded or in danger of running into them.
It is eight yards wide.
The actual structure of the goal posts may vary, but by rule the only difference is the distance between the uprights. In college (and the NFL), they are 18 feet 6 inches apart. In high school, they are 23 feet 4 inches apart.
At least ten yards from the ball or on the goal line and between the posts.
The distance between the goal posts is officially 7 yards; so that is 21 feet. In metric that is 6.4 metres. The width of the goal posts themselves is not official, so this might vary; but the rule states that at lest the bottom 2 metres of each post must be padded as protection. In some grounds, the base of the posts can be even 8 or 9 inches thick due to the padding.
Hash marks in the NFL are lined up with the goal posts. They are 18 feet 6 inches apart and are located 23 7/12 yards from each sideline. Hash marks in college are 40 feet apart and located 20 yards from each sideline.
