#BinancePickAndWin The term "football post" varies completely by sport. In **soccer**, it refers to a rectangular frame with two vertical posts 8 yards apart, connected by an 8-foot-high crossbar, typically backed by a net to catch goals.
In **American football**, it is a yellow, "gooseneck" structure located at the back of the end zone; a crossbar sits 10 feet off the ground, with two vertical uprights extending upward for kicking field goals.
Meanwhile, **Rugby and Gaelic football** utilize tall, H-shaped posts where teams score points by kicking the ball over the crossbar between the uprights.
