Football is the most popular team sports game on the planet, almost every country in the world has its own football championship, dozens of various tournaments are held, many awards for various achievements are awarded. Many people like to play football, someone prefers to watch matches on TV, but not everyone knows that there are many serious standards in this game. For example, a football goal must be of a specific size.

But first, it is worth considering the most diverse shapes and sizes of football goals that exist, but are not used in competitions.
The fact is that officially the goal size is too large, for example, for boys at the school stadium, and not every non-professional player will agree to play with a big goal. Therefore, most often in ordinary glades, non-standard frames are installed, which have their own characteristics. Basically, they differ in the distance between the rods at the same height of 2 meters. But in width they can be very different - from 3 to 7 meters. Even
children's football goals are issued
, which do not reach a meter in height, and even two in width. They are made specifically for the preparation of young children, whom parents give to special schools from early childhood, as they count on their serious sports career.
Official standard
And now it’s worth talking about what a football goal should be according to international standards.
This size has been established for a long time and has not changed for many years, so in all tournaments of the countries of the world these parameters are used. Officially, the football goal is 2 meters 44 centimeters high and 7 meters 32 centimeters wide. Having seen such numbers, you can immediately understand why smaller versions of goalkeeper frames are installed in school stadiums: young children who do not seriously engage in sports simply cannot protect such tall and wide constructions from heads. But professional football players cope with this
It’s an excellent task, because goalkeepers in football are most often tall.
Futsal needs a goal too
A much less common form of football, which has reduced parameters, is called futsal. Here other standards are adopted: fewer players in teams, less length and width of the court, and, of course, mini-football goals are smaller. They have exactly 3 meters from the bar to the bar, and 2 meters from the floor to the bar. The goalkeeper philosophy is very different in these two sports, and all because the football goal is different in size. It may seem to many that it is much more difficult to score a goal in a mini-football frame than in the huge possession of a goalkeeper in big football, but this is not so. A smaller version of this popular game is much more dynamic due to the size of the field, so the goalkeeper has to enter the game much more often than his colleague on a large field.
