       THE FIELD of PLAY
       1. Field surface
       The field of play must be a wholly natural or, if competition
       rules permit, a wholly artificial playing surface except
       where competition rules permit an integrated combination of
       artificial and natural materials (hybrid system).
       The colour of artificial surfaces must be green.
       Where artificial surfaces are used in competition matches
       between representative teams of national football associations
       affiliated
       to FIFA or international club competition matches, the surface
       must meet the requirements of the FIFA Quality
       Programme for Football Turf or the International Match Standard,
       unless special dispensation is given by The IFAB.
       2. Field markings
       The field of play must be rectangular and marked with continuous
       lines which must not be dangerous;
       artificial playing surface material may be used for the field
       markings on natural fields if it is not dangerous.
       These lines belong to the areas of which they are boundaries.
       Only the lines indicated in Law 1 are to be marked on the field
       of play.
       Where artificial surfaces are used, other lines are permitted
       provided they are a different colour and clearly distinguishable
       from the football lines.
       The two longer boundary lines are touchlines. The two shorter
       lines are goal lines.
       The field of play is divided into two halves by a halfway line,
       which joins the midpoint of the two touchlines.
       The centre mark is at the midpoint of the halfway line. A circle
       with a radius of 9.15m (10yds) is marked around it.
