What is Cage Football pitch?

Cage football, often referred to as cageball or branded concepts such as Soccerground, is a form of small-sided football played on a fully enclosed football pitch. Unlike traditional open football fields, a soccer cage uses steel posts, sandwich panels, and high-strength netting to create a continuous playing environment where the ball remains in play at all times.
From an engineering and operational perspective, cage football pitches are divided into two main categories:

Fixed (Permanent) Soccer Cage

A fixed soccer cage is installed on a prepared base (concrete or asphalt) and designed for long-term, high-frequency use.

Key Characteristics:

Permanent foundation
Commercial-grade artificial turf
Designed for daily operation (clubs, community facilities, schools)
Typical lifespan: 6–10 years

Portable (Mobile) Soccer Cage

Portable soccer cages are modular systems intended for temporary installations.

Key characteristics:

Modular steel frames
Short-pile or modular turf
Event-based or promotional use
Lower durability, limited daily usage

Globally, over 80% of cageball facilities use fixed soccer cage systems, because cage football is not an event product—it is a long-term sports infrastructure asset.

Cage Football Pitch Sizes

Cage football pitches are optimized for intensity, speed, and continuous play, not full-size match regulations. The most common formats are 5-a-side cage football and 7-a-side cage football.

5-a-Side Cage Football Pitch

This is the global commercial standard.

Typical size: 20 × 40 m
Playing area: 800 m²
With safety buffer zones: 900–1000 m² football turf required
Most popular for:
- Commercial cage soccer fields
- Urban football cage projects
- Training academies

7-a-Side Cage Football Pitch

Used where slightly larger space is available.

Typical size: 30 × 50 m (varies by region)
Higher player capacity
Often used in schools or sports parks

Key Characteristics of Cage Football Pitches

Flexible Use of Space

Cage football pitches require significantly less land than traditional football fields, making them ideal for:

Urban communities
Training bases
Rooftops
Sports complexes with limited space

The enclosed design increases player interaction, demanding higher technical ability and faster decision-making.

All-Year, All-Weather Operation

Cage football facilities are designed for 365-day operation:

Not affected by rain or snow
Suitable for indoor and outdoor playing football
Stable surface performance year-round

This directly increases club utilization rates and commercial revenue.

Modular Structure & Low Maintenance

Modular steel posts and panels
Artificial turf requires no watering, mowing, or reseeding
Components can be replaced individually
Systems can be relocated or expanded if required
