A standard soccer field, according to FIFA regulations, is typically about 100 to 110 meters long and 64 to 75 meters wide. A standard basketball court, on the other hand, measures 28 by 15 meters.
To determine how many basketball courts can fit in a soccer field, we can divide the area of the soccer field by the area of a basketball court.
Step 1: Calculate the area of both fields
– Soccer field area (assuming average dimensions of 105 meters by 68 meters):
105 meters × 68 meters = 7,140 square meters
– Basketball court area:
28 meters × 15 meters = 420 square meters
Step 2: Divide the soccer field area by the basketball court area
7,140 square meters ÷ 420 square meters = 17
Conclusion:
Around 17 basketball courts could fit within the area of a standard soccer field. However, this calculation assumes the courts are laid out without any extra space for boundaries or safety zones. If you include space between the courts or around the edges, the number would be lower.
