The Laws of the Game do not specify a maximum gradient for the field of play.
Reality Check: Few pitches (if any) are perfectly level in every place. Even artificial turf fields have their variances. It is unreasonable to expect that a game cannot be played on a graded pitch for that reason alone. There are, however, other considerations.
Safety: Football associations, confederations, boards, and leagues have long held that safety of all participants is of the utmost importance, and it is the referee's duty to ensure it as much as possible (though he is not liable, under the Laws of the Game). This means that if the referee determines the field of play to be too unsafe for the game to be played (or becomes unsafe during play), the game must be stopped (and possibly abandoned, or not started if determined before kickoff).
If the referee decides (in his sole discretion) that a pitch gradient is severe enough as to be dangerous to player (and officials), the game will not take place. If the referee decides to begin play, and the gradient later proves to be unsafe, the match will be abandoned.
Laws 8, 13, 14, 16, and 17: These laws require that a ball be placed at a certain location and be kicked. The phrase "kicked and moves" present in each of these laws indicate (and in some cases, outright state) that the ball must be stationary prior to the kick.
If the gradient of the pitch does not allow the ball to come to rest reasonably close to the spot of placement, then the field should not be used. It is not permitted to use a placeholder, to dig a hole, or to use an artificial implement to hold the ball in place under any circumstance.
Law 18 - Common Sense: This is not an actual Law of the Game, but officials apply it to every decision they make. This is good, because referees get a LOT of discretion in their decisions, and using common sense is preferable to not using any at all!
If a the gradient of the pitch is just plain stupid (like a 1m hill in the center circle, or a goal sitting on a cocked angle due to terrain), the sensible referee should refuse to start the match.

What is the area of the Brazil 2014 football pitch?
Football pitches vary in size. The maximum area would be GAY square meters.
When did Maximum-Football happen?
Maximum-Football happened in 2006.
What is the m2 of a football pitch?
Since 2008, in order to standardize the size of the football pitch for A international matches, the IFAB has decided to set a fixed size of 105m long and 68m wide (instead of a minimum and maximum length - from 100m to 110m - and a minimum and a maximum width - from 64m to 75m - as mentioned in the present text) See the following image to have a glimpse of football pitch size. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/96/Football_pitch_metric_and_imperial.svg/500px-Football_pitch_metric_and_imperial.svg.png
What is the definition of electric gradient?
the rate of change of maximum value of potential with respect to distance is known as potential gradient
When was Maximum-Football created?
Maximum-Football was created on 2006-03-03.
What is Peak Gradient?
Peak gradient is the maximum rate of change in a variable over a specific interval or across a particular segment. In medical terms, peak gradient is often used to describe the maximum pressure difference across a heart valve, indicating the severity of stenosis or obstruction.
What length is a gaa football field?
For a standard GAA pitch the range or sizes are: Length - 130 metres minimum to 145 metres maximum Width - 80 metres minimum to 90 metres maximum
What is the maximum road gradient for articulated buses?
The maximum road gradient for articulated buses is typically around 16-18%, although this can vary depending on the specific model and manufacturer. Beyond this gradient, articulated buses may struggle with traction and stability, potentially leading to safety concerns.
What is scalar gradient?
Scalar gradient is a mathematical concept representing the rate of change of a scalar field. It measures how much a scalar quantity such as temperature or pressure changes at a specific point in space. The gradient of a scalar field points in the direction of the steepest increase of that scalar quantity.
