Despite these being the measures used in the creation of indoor football pitches, it has been considered that the best results have been those of 20 meters by 30 meters and 20 meters by 40 meters, measures that correspond to the area of the game, including the counter-foot.

These parameters have been established on the indoor football pitch as the minimum and maximum parameters for at least 7 players to participate on each side of these structures.

The land’s total size should be 18 meters by 36 meters, with a total of 648 square meters.

When paving the courts or tracks, elements such as the playing surface and the outer safety strips must be included in the project. The surface to be used must also comply with some characteristics: having information about its sliding, vertical pot of the impact resistance value, footprint resistance, rolling loads, abrasion resistance, specular reflectance, and specular gloss, pentachlorophenol content, reaction to fire, and flatness.

It is also worth noting that the goals must be 5 meters long and 2.35 meters high and are made of steel. Also, the indoor football pitch must have a high quality in the materials used and an excellent robustness and resistance of the installation and its durability. The quality of the materials to be used, their aesthetics, and architectural combination must go hand in hand with a state-of-the-art artificial grass environment, this being fibrillated or monofilament. It must also have a sand stabilization filler with an approximate height of 10 and 15 millimeters. There are, in turn, more options when it comes to making indoor football pitches, such as having pre-galvanized structures, having a complete turnkey project, and having a door that is accessible to the disabled. When manufacturing and designing the indoor football pitches, creating the changing rooms for the staff and the players must also be established. Accessibility must be quite right for everyone who wants to go there, and there must be well-defined spaces for both players and guests. If possible, auxiliary spaces for athletes should be located and changing rooms, bathrooms, and areas useful to sports with adequate ventilation and air conditioning.
