Article 40 Match sheet - Women's Under-17

40.01

Before each match, each team must indicate in the relevant match sheet the numbers, first names and surnames, dates of birth and, if applicable, shirt names of the 20 players in the squad, together with the first names, surnames and functions of the officials seated on or next to the substitutes’ bench. Goalkeepers and team captain must be identified. Players must wear the shirt and short numbers indicated on the match sheet.

40.02

The 11 players indicated on the match sheet as forming the starting 11 must commence the match. The other players are designated as substitutes.

40.03

Each team must have its match sheet submitted by its competent association official at least 75 minutes before kick-off. Once both teams match sheets are submitted, they will be automatically exchanged 75 minutes before kick-off.

40.04

Up to five of the substitutes listed on each team’s match sheet may take part in the match. Each team may use a maximum of three stoppages in play to make substitutions. Substitutions made before the start of the match and during half-time do not reduce the number of stoppages in play that can be used. A player who has been substituted may take no further part in the match.

40.05

After the match sheets have been exchanged, no changes are allowed. Before the match has kicked off, the following exceptions are possible:

1. Any of the ten starting outfield players listed on the match sheet who cannot start the match due to physical incapacity may be replaced by one of the substitutes listed on the match sheet. The replaced player is taken off the match sheet and the quota of substitute players is reduced accordingly for the match in question. During the match, five players may still be substituted.

2. Any of the substitute outfield players listed on the match sheet who cannot be fielded due to physical incapacity may not be replaced, which means that the quota of substitute outfield players is reduced accordingly for the match in question.

3. A starting goalkeeper listed on the match sheet who cannot be fielded due to physical incapacity may be replaced by one of the substitutes listed on the match sheet. The replaced goalkeeper may, however, still be used as a substitute goalkeeper, or, if this is not possible, may be replaced by a goalkeeper not on the player list.

4. A substitute goalkeeper who cannot be fielded due to physical incapacity may be replaced by a goalkeeper not on the player list.

The association concerned must, upon request, provide the UEFA administration with the necessary medical certificates.
