The basic condition of a football field is to have a rectangular flat surface, which can be grass, artificial grass, rubber or even concrete ground. The more simple football field may only have two sides of the gantry and a few white lines, while the better equipped football field may be equipped with lighting, stands and changing rooms and other facilities. A football pitch for a professional football league or national team can have advertising boards on all sides, and stands are more likely to hold tens of thousands of spectators. Most sports complexes contain a football pitch and may have facilities for athletics events such as a track or long jump bunker and venues for throwing sports such as shot put and javelin, etc.
