– Players born in 2017 and 2018 will play in a 5-on-5 format.

– 9 vs. 9 – maximum 16 players.

5. Substitutions:

– Completely unrestricted, without any limitations.

6. Pressing rule from the goal:

– The rule applies to all age groups: pressing can only be applied from the marked line.

– The purpose of this rule is to encourage low passes from the goal rather than shots.

7. Player registration and wristbands:

– Each player must have an identity document (with a photo and date of birth).

– The organizers check the documents and put on a colored wristband according to the player’s age. – Players must wear the wristband throughout the tournament.

– Older players may be on the team, but they will be given a different color bracelet.

– If an older player with an inappropriate bracelet plays in a match, the team will be awarded a technical defeat of 0:3.

– Younger players may play in the older group.

8. Draws and wins after a penalty shootout:

– If the match ends in a draw, both teams select one player to take one penalty kick each.

– If one team scores a goal and the other does not, the team that scored the goal wins the match and receives 3 points, while the losing team receives 0 points.

– If both teams score a goal or neither team scores a goal, the match is considered a draw and both teams receive 1 point.

– This is the usual football scoring system with an additional method of determining the winner in matches that end in a draw.
