A goal area is a marked section of a sports field, usually located near the goal, that defines the space in which certain rules apply. In soccer, for example, the goal area is a rectangular zone in front of the goal where the goalkeeper is allowed to handle the ball more freely. In other sports, such as handball or hockey, the goal area is similarly a space around the goal where specific actions, like shooting or defending, are focused. The goal area helps organize the game and ensures fair play by setting boundaries for players’ movements and actions.
