How do you square a soccer field?

Answer 1

According to Law 1 of IFAB's Laws of the Game, a soccer field cannot be square. It must be rectangular, and the touch lines (sidelines) must be longer than the goal lines (end lines).

In order to help ensure that the corners are all 90° angles, you should calculate the dimensions of the field, as well as the hypotenuses of the invisible right triangles you will create if you connected the opposite corners. Use stakes or other markers to mark any two adjacent corners. Place the third marker at the proper distance from either of the first, and adjust it until it also matches the hypotenuse length to the opposite corner. Do the same for the fourth corner. If all six dimensions are correct (four sides and two hypotenuses), then your corner angles are correct. Paint the four sides.

Answer 2

There are no squares on a soccer field. There are, however, rectangles.
