Peculiarity of some sports and sports disciplines is in their competitive structure. Based on the structure competition activity was defined by pothetical model of anthropological characteristics for some players position. In practice it was found that there anthropometric differences in football players compared to their position in the team, which correspond to different tasks during the game. On this basis, there is a need in the training program should include specific tasks for each position in the team. The aim is to determine the morphological status of football players of different positions. The sample of 206 football players aged 17,5 ± 0.5 years, which is divided into 5 subsamples according to examinees gaming position: forwarders (45), midfield players (47), defenders (41), central defenders (44) and goalkeepers (29). This research includes morphological characteristics which imply four latent dimensions. Fourteen anthropometric measures were determined which hypothetically assess mentioned latent morphological dimensions. Results indicate that most homogenous group, the players positions in team received external characteristics of a group of defenders and goalkeepers, central defenders, forwarders and on the end midfield players. The obtained values indicate that the characteristics of homogenous and thus represent a large extent the players who play in the observed positions in the football game.
