In football, the goal lines are the shorter two of the four boundary lines that demarcate the outer limits of the pitch. The goal lines must be equal in length, measuring between 45 metres (49 yd) and 90 metres (98 yd). However, in international matches, the lines must be between 64 metres (70 yd) and 75 metres (82 yd) long.[1] The goals must be placed at the centre of each goal line.[2]
