Safety
A player must not use equipment or wear anything that is dangerous
to himself or another player (including any kind of jewellery).


Basic Equipment


The basic compulsory equipment of a player is:
• a jersey or shirt
• shorts – if thermal under shorts are worn, they are of the same
   main color as the shorts
• stockings
• ShinGuards
• footwear


ShinGuards
• are covered entirely by the stockings
• are made of a suitable material (rubber, plastic, or similar substances)
• provide a reasonable degree of protection


Goalkeepers
• each goalkeeper wears colors that distinguish him from the other
   players, the referee and the assistant referees

 

Infringements/Sanctions


For any infringement of this Law:
• play need not be stopped
• the player at fault is instructed by the referee to leave the field of
   play to correct his equipment
• the player leaves the field of play when the ball next ceases to be
   in play, unless he has already corrected his equipment
• any player required to leave the field of play to correct his equipment
   does not re-enter without the referee’s permission
• the referee checks that the player’s equipment is correct before
   allowing him to re-enter the field of play
• the player is only allowed to re-enter the field of play when the
   ball is out of play


A player who has been required to leave the field of play because of
an infringement of this Law and who enters (or re-enters) the field
of play without the referee’s permission is cautioned and shown the
yellow card.


Restart of Play

If play is stopped by the referee to administer a caution:
• the match is restarted by an indirect free kick taken by a player of
   the opposing side, from the place where the ball was located when
   the referee stopped the match * (see page 3)


Decisions of the International F.A. Board


Decision 1
• Players must not reveal undershirts that contain slogans or advertising.
   A player removing his jersey to reveal slogans or advertising will be
   sanctioned by the competition organizer.
• Jerseys must have sleeves.
