Field of PlayThe field of play has the following dimensions:

• Width: up to 20 meters
• Length: up to 26 meters

Due to variations in the dimensions of open and indoor sports facilities, and in order to avoid deadlock situations that may arise as a result, the length of the side dividing walls may be reduced to a minimum of 1 meter.
If this adjustment does not allow six pairs of goals to be positioned in a single straight line, taking into account the side walls, the responsible organizers shall decide to reduce the number of goals to five pairs. Accordingly, the number of players shall be reduced to five participants.
The field of play may be established on any flat surface, including:

• natural grass surfaces (football pitch, green area);
• artificial hard or soft surfaces (basketball court, volleyball court, or other sports grounds);
• indoor sports halls with wooden or synthetic flooring.

PlayersParticipation in Furtbol is open to any individual, including persons with disabilities.
Age eligibility is determined by the respective age categories.
Furtbol may be played by male, female, or mixed groups.

1. Age Categories6–9 years
2. 10–13 years
3. 14–17 years
4. 18–21 years

Each goal must be fitted with a net.

• Dividing Wall DimensionsHeight: 2 meters
• Width: 2 meters

The dividing walls shall be securely attached to the vertical goalposts.
The goals and intermediate dividing walls shall be installed sequentially in a single straight line and connected to each other. Rear supports shall be installed to ensure stability.
Additional dividing walls shall be installed before the first and after the last goal to ensure equal playing conditions for all participants and to minimize the ball leaving the field of play.

• Names of Field LinesTouchline
• Goal line
• Goal area
• Start line

The entire field shall be marked by a boundary line around its perimeter. This line simultaneously defines:

• the goal line on which the goals and dividing walls are positioned;
• the two touchlines and the opposite boundary line.

Line DimensionsFor competition matches, the width of the lines shall not exceed 12 cm. All lines must be of equal width.
The goal line shall measure 26 meters in length.
The touchline shall be shorter than the goal line and may vary from 15 to 20 meters depending on the field dimensions.
Goal AreaThe goal area shall be marked as follows:

• Length (along the goal line): 3 meters (0.6 m from the inner side of each post + 2 m goal width)
• Depth (into the field): 1 meter

Marking procedure: From points on the goal line located 0.5 m from each post, two perpendicular lines of 1 meter in length shall be drawn. Their ends shall be connected by a line parallel to the goal line.
Start LineThe start line shall be 1 meter in length.
It shall be positioned parallel to the goal line at a distance of 12 meters from it, centrally located between the touchlines.
Goal Line Technology (GLT)GLT may be used to determine whether a goal has been scored in order to support the referee’s decision.
Principles of GLTGLT shall be used exclusively on the goal line and solely to determine whether a goal has been scored.
The signal indicating that a goal has been scored must be immediate and automatically confirmed within one second by the official system.
Requirements and SpecificationsIf GLT is used in competition matches, organizers must ensure that the system is properly certified in accordance with one of the following standards:

• Quality PRO
• Quality
• IMS – International Match Standard

An independent testing body must confirm the accuracy and functionality of the system in accordance with the Quality Programme Testing Manual for GLT.
If the technology does not function in accordance with the Testing Manual, the referee shall not use the system and must report the matter to the appropriate authorities.
Where GLT is used, the referee must verify its functionality before the match in accordance with the Testing Manual.
Referee Review Area (RRA)In matches using VAR, at least one Referee Review Area (RRA) must be provided for “on-field review” (OFR).
The RRA must be:

• located in a visible area outside the field of play;
• clearly marked.
