Hopeless sentence in that response.
"The inner one extends 5 meters into the field from the goal, and the
outer one extends 16 meters out."
Would be better said
"The inner one extends 5 meters onto the field from the goal. The
outer one extends 16 meters onto the field."
Hope that's less ambiguous.

Collin,
I don't do any sports photography, but on a soccer field, there are
two white rectangles marked before the goal. The inner one extends 5
meters into the field from the goal, and the outer one extends 16
meters out. I'm not sure how far they go out on the sides. Whenever
there's a chance of a goal, chances are that the action will be
concentrated within the outer rectangle. One good poll-position
would be behind one of the goals, preferrably of the weakest
team..:-). If you manage that, your shooting distance will be up to
about 16 meters plus the distance between you and the field.
Hope this can help you decide on a suitable focal length.

No idea if it will come to fruition, but ....
there's a major league soccer all-star type of game here in July.
I'm going to try to get a sideline press pass
Would 300mm be enough for soccer? 400mm?
Would a zoom be more suitable? What range?
