The sweeper is a deep defensive position; basically, they are the last line of defence besides the goalkeeper. They normally never leave their own 23-metre area, and are there to clear the ball away from the goal or goalkeeper at any time. They are often the strongest defender on the team, and sweeper is almost a specialist role.
