The height of the goal net must be 2.44 meters high, and the length must be 7.32 meters long. The official soccer rules state that only 10 players and 1 goalie can be on the field for one team. In addition to these players, there are substitute players on each team so that the players on the field can have breaks during the game.

Soccer regultions state that all players are required to wear shorts, jerseys, shin pads, socks, and cleats. Both teams are required to wear different coloured, or designs on their jerseys so that they dont get mixed up during a game. During a game, the rule regualtor is the referee. They wear a unique colour during a soccer game so that they can be identified. The referee is accompanied by two other assistant referees. Together they all ensure the game follows the rules and is played fairly. If a penalty occurs during a moment of the game, the referee will show either a yellow or a red card depending on the degree of seriousness the penalty is. A professional game of soccer is composed of two 45 minute halfs. There is a clock that starts at 90 minutes that continues to run when the ball goes out of bounds and when there is substitutions.
