"There are few texts in the world as widely distributed as the Laws of the Game of football - and yet unfortunately there are also few which are as widely misread or misunderstood.
"Everyone involved in the world's most popular sport thinks he (or she) knows the Laws inside out. But one of the game's many fascinations is its constant ability to produce new situations which demand instant and accurate interpretation.
-- Joseph S Blatter
FIFA General Secretary
The seventeen laws of the game are the foundations on which football is played. They are simple and they are universal - applying equally to matches played in the great stadia of the world and to matches played in public parks.
A sound knowledge of the laws is essential for all those involved in the game.
