Midfield

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Midfield is the part of a sports pitch that lies approximately in the center. It is a term most commonly associated with football to refer to the area in and around the center circle, as well as the players who occupy that region, but it can be used in field hockey to describe the same area, or in rugby to refer to the area occupied by the players in the center positions. The term "midfield" is also used in baseball to describe the area between the infield and the outfield. Midfield is also used in Field Lacrosse which is described as a players position.
