End zone

The end zone is a term in both Canadian football and American football. The end zone is the area between the end line and goal line bounded by the sidelines. It is bordered on all sides by a white line indicating its beginning and end points.

The goal post

The location of a goal post differs from league to league, but it is always within the boundaries of the end zone. In earlier football games (both professional and collegiate), the goal post began at the goal line, and was usually an H-shaped bar. Nowadays, almost all goal posts are T-shaped, and reside at the back line of the end zone.
