    1. Home teams are named first in the fixture. All matches begin at the time indicated on the fixtures unless otherwise advised in writing by ISSA.
    2. All players must be duly registered in the school before they can participate and must be registered in the school by September 30, 2023, this year.
    3. If ISSA believes a player’s eligibility is in question, ISSA reserves the right to consider the said player ineligible to participate, until the player’s eligibility status is confirmed, in accordance with the applicable regulations.
    4. All players (except the Goalkeeper) from any one team must wear similar jerseys while on the field of play.
    5. All players are required to have their jerseys tucked in their shorts while entering the field of play.

    8. Teams must print their Start Lists from the ISSA Portal. This also includes the pictures of the players on the start list.
    9. Writing in the name(s) of the players on the Start List is not allowed.
