How to play
Teams are made up of ambulant cerebral palsy athletes, and each side must maintain a line-up featuring players with varying levels of disability. The rules differ from those of Football in several respects: each team consists of seven players, the measurements of the playing field and goalposts are smaller, there’s no offside law and matches last 30 minutes per half.
