Football standard ground dimensions increased.

If widened, players would need to cover more ground, so the players would get a lot more tired trying to defend. I think the sport would need to be modified so that more players are on the field

Thank you.

You mean instead of 11 players each in the playing teams, possible number would be 13 and more?

Absolutely, that would distribute the load more appropriately. However, i'd change the fundamentals of the game tremendously

Thanks.

You mean changing the rules of the Football game if the ground dimensions are increased, keeping the goalpost dimensions intact?

If everything remains proportional, meaning that for every \(x\) sq. ft. increased on the field, you add one more player, and \(y\) sq. ft. to the goalpost, then we're not changing much apart from expanding the fundamentals that are already set. But if we were to increase the playing field, but didn't add any more players or make adjustments to the goalpost dimensions, the game would get considerably more tiresome for the players, as they'd have to put in more work.

Also important to note that field dimensions vary by age of players, and whether it's being played indoor vs. outdoor. Maybe you can research that and report back to us...

Thank you.

Probably take a feedback from FIFA committee?

Thank you.

One last question.

Do you feel the football game may become interesting with increasing the dimensions of the football ground keeping the same goalpost dimensions on probable increasing the number of players in each team as well as probable changes in the rules of the game?

I think it's become less interesting to watch, because the sport is already perceived to be boring my large % of the population already, takes too long to score a goal, etc. Therefore, adding more players in a larger field would just add to the tediousness of the sport... Just my opinion

Thanks.

There are 4 permutations and combinations for length and breadth (width) for the rectangular Football ground.

No Length        Breadth

1   Increased    Keep as it is
2  Keep as it is Increased
3  Increased    Increased
4  Keep as it is Keep as it is

Note : 4th - Keep as it is will be
increasing neither the length and breadth which is the current standard Football rectangular ground dimensions.
