Background. The psychosocial prototype of the sports situation in a specific sports discipline is shaped by repetitive psychosocial standards of the situation. The most characteristic dimensions referring to a prototype sports situation include the maximization of action, motor activity, social reception, long-lasting training, and competitiveness. So far, the issue has been discussed in relation to many sports disciplines, however not yet football. Hence, the objective of the research was to determine the importance and intensity of the specific dimensions of the sports situation in football that created its psychosocial prototype. We adopted the five dimensions mentioned above among factors in our research. Material and methods. The applied research tool was the Scale of Sports Situation Dimensions. In a selected group, we employed the criterion of competence. Results and conclusions. The study showed that the most characteristic dimension of the prototype sports situation in football was social reception, followed by competitiveness, long-lasting training, motor activity, and maximization of action. As for football, there is a variation between different dimensions, so one may say that the structure of the prototype sports situation is created by two groups of dimensions.
