The first law of football as maintained by the International Football Association Board (IFAB) is the field of play.
The field of play specifies dimensions and markings of the field, including touch lines, goal lines and the halfway line.

Masaza cup organizing committee will inspect these different playgrounds before making a final communication.
I thank teams upon the efforts into 2025 Masaza cup competition, going through the process of organizing their teams. We have received 18 submissions of playgrounds from all 18 counties. Now this week we are going to inspect those ground to observe whether they are of the standard of the Masaza cup and if the submitted ground fails to beat standards, a team shall have either to upgrade of to change the venue.
