Why an Official-sized Football Field?
Football is the most practiced, beloved, and popular sport in the world, as well as in Romania. Appreciated by people of all ages, it has come to be called the ‘king of sports.’
Playing football can be an extraordinary experience if the playing surface is of high quality. At Atlas Sport, we are pleased to play an important role in improving the football experience for communities across the country.

We want players to have the best conditions on the football field, which is why we constantly push the boundaries of quality, durability, and performance in stadium construction.
How is an Official-sized Football Field Constructed?
A durable football field begins with the correct infrastructure. The steps differ slightly depending on the type of turf chosen. Correct infrastructure execution prevents unevenness and reduces long-term maintenance costs.
Infrastructure for synthetic turf
• Removal of the vegetation layer with mechanical means
• Filtering stone layer for consolidation and drainage
• Installation of synthetic turf with infill (sand + rubber granules)
• Markings and finishes
Infrastructure for natural turf
• Removal of the vegetation layer
• Leveling and compaction of the sub-base layer
• Ballast layer for strength and drainage
• Spreading fertile topsoil
• Seeding and treatments (herbicides, fertilization)
What are the Official Dimensions of a Football Field?
Dimensions according to international standards
| Standard | Playing surface dimensions |
| UEFA (recommended) | 105 × 68 m |
| FIFA | 105 × 68 m |
| National Standard (length) | min. 90 m – max. 120 m |
| National Standard (width) | min. 45 m – max. 90 m |
Mandatory safety zone:
• 2.5 m on the long sides
• 6 m on the short sides (behind the goals)
Atlas Sport recommended dimension: 117 × 73 m (includes safety zone according to UEFA). Dimensions can be adapted based on available space and competitive requirements.
Synthetic Turf or Natural Turf?
Synthetic turf (artificial) – ideal for intensive use, 24/7, in all weather conditions. Minimal maintenance, excellent durability, FIFA certification.
Natural turf – authentic playing experience, ecological benefits, preferred surface for high-level competitions. Requires specialized maintenance.
