Best Answer

In soccer, the nets are a mesh polyethylene of other suitable material often attached to the rear (out of play) side of each team's goalposts and crossbar. The purpose of goal nets are to prevent balls that have entered the goal from careening away from the field and delaying the restart of play. They also create a barrier between "inside" and "outside" of the goal to help officials, players, and other onlookers determine whether a fast-moving ball crossed the goal line between the goalposts and under the crossbar, or outside of them.

The Laws of the Game do not require nets, but allow their use so long as they do not interfere with the goalkeeper or other players near the goal. By convention, nets are nearly always used, are white in color, and extend at least a yard behind the goal line before converging to form the cage-like area, giving a volume of at least 576 cubic feet for adult professional matches.
