Before each match, each team must confirm, using the match sheet, the 23 players in the team and up to 11 team officials, one of whom must be a team doctor. The match sheet must indicate the number and, if applicable, the shirt name that each player will wear during the match.
The players indicated on the match sheet as forming the starting 11 commence the match, and the goalkeeper and team captain must be identified among these players. All other players listed on the match sheet are designated as substitutes.
If there are fewer than seven players on either team, the match is cancelled or suspended.
Each team must have its match sheet submitted by its competent association official at least 75 minutes before kick-off. The match sheets are automatically exchanged no earlier than 75 minutes before kick-off.
