1. Field of Play

• Dimensions: The field must be rectangular, with the length (touchline) being greater than the width (goal line). For international matches, the length must be between 100-110 meters and the width between 64-75 meters.
• Markings: The field is marked with lines, including the halfway line, penalty area, and goal area. A center circle and penalty arcs are also present.

2. The Ball

• The ball must be spherical, made of suitable material, and of a specific size and weight (68-70 cm in circumference, 410-450 grams in weight).

3. Number of Players

• A match is played by two teams, each with no more than 11 players (including a goalkeeper). A match cannot start or continue if either team has fewer than seven players.

4. Player Equipment

• Players must wear a jersey, shorts, socks, shin guards, and footwear. Goalkeepers must wear colors that distinguish them from other players and referees.

5. Referees

• A referee enforces the Laws of the Game, ensures player safety, and keeps the official time of the match. The referee has full authority to enforce the rules and make decisions.

6. Match Duration

• A match lasts 90 minutes, divided into two 45-minute halves, with a 15-minute halftime break. Stoppage time can be added to account for injuries, substitutions, and other interruptions.

7. Start and Restart of Play

• A kick-off starts or restarts play at the beginning of each half and after a goal is scored. Other restarts include throw-ins, goal kicks, and corner kicks.

8. Offside

• A player is in an offside position if they are nearer to the opponent's goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent when the ball is played to them, unless they are in their own half. Offside offenses are penalized with an indirect free kick to the opposing team. (먹튀검증)
