7 Aside Football (Soccer) matches will be conducted in accordance with ISP Games regulations and adapted small-sided football rules. The following rules and competition format will apply:

• Matches will be played with 7 players on the pitch per team at any one time.

• The pitch size will be 40m x 20m and all matches will be played within this designated playing area.

• Matches will consist of 2 halves of 12 minutes each.

• There will be no half-time break, only a brief interval for teams to change ends.

• A rolling clock system will be used. The clock will not stop during normal play.

• The referee may stop the clock only in exceptional circumstances or at their discretion.

• Matches will begin with a kick-off decided by a coin toss or referee decision.

• All standard football laws of the game apply unless modified within these ISP Games rules (including offside rules, which may be removed if using small-sided format – to be confirmed by organisers).

• Sliding tackles may be restricted depending on pitch surface and safety requirements, at the referee’s discretion.

• Rolling substitutions are allowed at any stoppage in play and must be made quickly through the designated substitution area.

• All substitutions are unlimited unless otherwise specified by the tournament organiser.

• A goal is awarded when the whole ball crosses the goal line between the posts and under the crossbar.

• Standard restart procedures apply (kick-offs, throw-ins, goal kicks, corner kicks, and free kicks).

• In the event of a draw at full time, the match result will stand as a draw.

• A drawn match will result in each team being awarded 1 point.

• A win will award 3 points, and a loss will award 0 points.

• The referee’s decisions on all on-pitch matters are final.

• Unsportsmanlike behaviour, dissent, dangerous play, or misconduct may result in warnings, sin-bins, or dismissal from the game.

• Players must wear appropriate football kit, including shin pads and suitable footwear for the playing surface.

• Teams must be ready to start at the scheduled kick-off time. Failure to do so may result in a walkover or forfeiture at the discretion of the organiser.

• Tournament organisers reserve the right to amend match duration, format, or rules where necessary due to scheduling, safety, or operational requirements.
