soccer pitch

Goals at ends

A soccer pitch is the rectangular grass field on which soccer is played, marked with boundary lines, a center circle, penalty areas, and goals at each end.

Pitch in this sense is British English for a sports field: The team warmed up on the pitch before the match.

Americans typically say soccer field.
