RULE 3: THE PLAYERS
There are 11 players per team, including a goalkeeper. The 10 players that aren’ t the goalie are often referred to as outfield players. In the United Soccer League, where LouCity plays, each team is permitted three substitutes, a convention the USL only adopted last season. Once a player is subbed off the field, they are not allowed to re-enter.
RULE 4: THE PLAYERS’ EQUIPMENT
While policy on shirt sponsors varies from league to league, players are required to have:
1. Shirt with sleeves 2. Shorts 3. Socks 4. Shin Guards 5. Approved Cleats( sometimes called boots)
This ensemble is often called a kit.

For top teams in Europe, kit sponsorships are lucrative propositions that can yield eye-watering sums. For instance, in 2014, England’ s Manchester United( one of the world’ s most valuable sports team) signed a seven year, $ 559 Million deal with Chevrolet, per Forbes. com. On top of that, kit suppliers( Nike and Adidas being the most affluent) splash out even more ridiculous amounts for the right to manufacture and sell teams’ shirts. Another top European team, Spain’ s Real Madrid penned a 10 year, $ 1.6 billion deal with Adidas to produce kits for Los Blancos.
