Article 33 Match sheet - Youth League

33.01

Before each match, each team must indicate in the match sheet the numbers, full names and dates of birth and, if applicable, shirt names of the 18 players in the squad, together with the full names and functions of the officials seated on the substitutes’ bench and on the additional technical seats. Goalkeepers and team captain must be identified. Players must wear the shirt and short numbers as indicated on the match sheet.

33.02

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

33.03

Each team must have its match sheet submitted by its competent club 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.

33.04

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.

33.05

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

1. If any of the players indicated on the match sheet as forming the starting 11 cannot start the match due to physical incapacity, they may be replaced by one of the substitutes listed on the match sheet. The substitute in question may then only be replaced by a registered player included on the list of 20 players and not previously listed on the match sheet, so that the quota of substitutes is not reduced. During the match, five players may still be substituted.

2. If any of the substitutes listed on the match sheet cannot be fielded due to physical incapacity, they may be replaced by a registered player included on the list of 20 players and not previously listed on the match sheet.

3. If none of the goalkeepers listed on the match sheet can be fielded due to physical incapacity, they may be replaced by registered goalkeepers included on the list of 40 players and not previously listed on the match sheet.

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