PRESS RELEASE

Each team is only allowed one VAR request per half. VAR will only be used for four situations that can change the outcome of a match:

1. Goal / No goal;
2. Penalty decisions;
3. Direct red card incidents;
4. Mistaken identity.

After using the VAR requirement, if there is another controversial phase, it can only be checked by the referee for four situations that can change the outcome of a match:

1. Goal / No goal;
2. Penalty decisions;
3. Direct red card incidents;
4. Mistaken identity.

If any kind of offence is committed in the build-up to a goal, such as a hint, a foul in attack or a foul on the goalkeeper, etc., the referee should be invited to VAR to review the decision.

If the VAR requirement is not used by a team in the first half, it does not carry over to the second half.

PRESS RELEASE

The competitive season 2023-2024 has brought changes to the participation rules previously presented to the teams, concerning the validation of players participating in the tournaments organised by 5PLUS1 UK MINIFOOTBALL under the aegis of the English Minifootball Federation – GB Union Minifootball.

As a result, it was forbidden to use players from the Romanian minifootball championships without a transfer registered with the Romanian Minifootball Federation, after all the necessary steps for its validation (signatures, approvals, fees paid) have been completed. In this context, two players were validated: Iordan Cristian and Florentin Mândrilă.

In order to better inform all participants, we have decided to open the official 5PLUS1 UK MINIFOOTBALL website by the end of this season. With this press release, we explain how the two transfers have been made and how teams can bring players from other leagues in Europe (if applicable).

Following discussions with the organisers of the teams participating throughout the 2023-2024 competitive season, we have decided the following:
