    They don't have to have a sign or similar, or be accessible to everyone.

    Are matches held on those fields and the fields are not on any school property? Then they are perfectly legitimate POIs.

    Mean IP in Sweden is ok if you take on entrence but not the soccerfield. Only soccer player can visit soccer field not for public. But Entrence follow criteria and are public.

    No agents can visit field not for public only for fotboll players. Not follow critera when not for public. Location is the field. If agents fake location it is another faild for critera.

    So this topic is part of the open to the public debate. Niantic has clarified that as long as the POI is accessible to a large group of people besides single or possible double residential homes then it is viable for having a candidate if its accessible to a large group of people. There are other few components and rules regarding other types of locations but we are talking about an athletic field in this situation.

    The one time they have specified anything about athletic fields that have a similar issue is Golf Courses. Niantic has clarified that you can not make each hole a portal and to not place the candidate onto the field itself. Most Golf Courses will have the portal at the athletic club where they start the set of games.

    A football field that is accessible to a large group of people and as long as the portal is placed at the edge of the field, it should be a viable candidate and should be approved. The only athletic fields that should be rejected are the locations which have been clarified to not have portals such as a school or a residential home.

    If the soccer field can use by public it is ok to have portal picture on field and location on the field. Lots of soccer fields have not or cant use by public. Means not follow critera when public not can visit the field or walk on the field. If we can use ur public have acceses to walk or use field we can accept. Niantic say dont accept if publink cant go or walk to on the location. We cant walk or go on lots of soccer fields when only fotball players have acceses to walk or go on the field.

    They have never said do not accept limited access portals.

    In fact, they have said the exact opposite.

    Lots of soccer fields go under no access for pedestrians. When we have often no acces to go on lots of soccer fields.


    I hope @NianticAkshay can help agents understand.

    There is no requirement for every portal to be accessible by all agents at all times.

    From the AMAs:

    Q70: Adail Horst - What do you think about portal candidates located in internal area of residential condominium, with access restricted to local residents and their guests? What do you think about portal candidates located in internal area of companies, with access restricted to her workers and their guests (i cannot join to the area without company authorization and the company not allow join to play ingress...)?

    A70: Not all Portals need to be accessible to all Agents at all times. Think of it as an opportunity to make new friend.

    I hope Niantic remove lots of soccer fields when arma or critera say it when we cant acceses only fotball players. I cant understand way agents dont care or dont understand critera and accept.

    Being accessible to all agents is not in the criteria and Niantic has stated repeatedly that restricted and limited access portals are valid. What you are asking is for Niantic to add a new criteria that is the opposite of what they have stated in the past.
