The Laws of the Game Governing Substitutions

To replace a player with a substitute, the following conditions must be observed:

• the referee must be informed before any proposed substitution is made;

• the substitute only enters the field of play after the player being replaced has left and after receiving a signal from the referee;

• the substitute only enters the field of play at the halfway line and during a stoppage in the match;

• the substitution is completed when a substitute enters the field of play;

• from that moment, the substitute becomes a player and the player he has replaced becomes a substituted player;

• the substituted player takes no further part in the match;

• all substitutes are subject to the authority and jurisdiction of the referee, whether called upon to play or not.

• there is no stipulation in the Laws of the Game that require numbers on jerseys?

A “club” linesman is simply one who is not a certified referee, usually recruited shortly before the match from among the more knowledgeable soccer spectators on hand to serve when a certified linesman is not available. Under the Laws of the Game “club” linesmen are limited with respect to the matters they may call to assist the referee.
