corner flags

Boundary pole pennants

Corner flags are the small flags mounted on posts at each corner of a soccer or rugby pitch, marking the boundaries where the touchline meets the goal line.

They help players and officials judge whether the ball has gone out of play and indicate where corner kicks are taken: The ball deflected off the corner flag and stayed in bounds.
