What does this number measure?

A common length for major football matches. A 105-metre pitch is a frequent reference. The rules allow several dimensions, so not every pitch is exactly this long.

Compare the stated dimensions

The comparison uses the number in each fact sheet: altitude, height, diameter, length or distance, depending on the reference. Two values in metres do not necessarily describe the same property.
