I don't think that the pitch/field distinction is meaningful (except for cricket, wherein I believe that the pitch is part of the field). For football (all codes thereof), simply use whichever of the two words feels right in your dialect of English.

Yeah, I'm a central european and I would call it a football field. Granted, not the biggest football fan, I only watch the international tournaments which happen every other year. And I'm not a native english speaker.
Wouldn't it affect the classifications if it gets labelled as a pitch but their system isn't checking for that word?
