Football rules and regulations/ laws of the game
In 11- a side football there are 17 laws. Each of these laws contain rules that must be abided by the players at all times. Each law is broken down into separate rules. Football is a game with two teams of eleven players, played over the course of 90 minutes. This period is split into two 45-minute halves. The objective of the game is to score more goals than the opposition.

Duration of a football match
The match officially lasts 90 minutes, split into two 45 minute halves with a half-time break of no longer than 15 minutes. In the knock out competitions, extra-time is used if there is no winner after 90 minutes. Extra time is 30 minutes, split into two 15 minute halves. And if it is still even then a penalty shootout will decide the winner. A reduced length of match can be decided before the game if both managers and the referee mutually agree. Often additional time is added on to the end of each half, this is because they may have been:
- substitution(s)
- assessment of injury to players
- removal of injured players from the field of play for treatment
- wasting time
The amount of added on time will be decided by the referee.
The Ball
The ball must be:
- Spherical
- Made of leather or other suitable material
- Circumference 68-70cm
- Weight 410-450g
- Pressure 0.6-1.1 atmospheres
Fouls/free-kicks
A foul can take place anywhere on the pitch, and a free kick is awarded where that foul has taken place (excepting fouls in the penalty area, which result in a penalty kick). The referee can choose simply to award the foul, speak to the player about his conduct or take matters further.
In football there are 2 types of free-kick. Direct and indirect. The difference is that from a direct free-kick
