football pitch
Rectangular playing surface
A football pitch is the rectangular grass field where football (soccer) is played, marked with boundary lines, a center circle, penalty areas, and goals at each end.
The term is primarily British; Americans say soccer field.
Pitch alone often suffices in context: The players took to the pitch.
