Each team must include a minimum of 13 players and a maximum of 25. There is no limit on companions.
Note: The Master, Super Master, and Premium categories have a minimum age, but no maximum. For example, a 50-year-old player can participate in any of the three categories. Each team may allow up to 5 players who are up to two years younger than the minimum age for these categories.

Game Time: matches consist of two halves of 30 minutes each.
Substitutions: teams may make a maximum of 9 substitutions per match.
Observers
Match observers serve as disciplinary aides to referees and can suggest disciplinary measures, though not as formal rules, if they observe serious unsportsmanlike behavior that the referee team did not notice.
Game Format
Each category will have two groups of 4 teams each, following FIFA's round-robin format (all teams play against each other within the group). The top two teams from each group will advance to the knockout stage. Teams that do not qualify will play a fourth match, competing for a trophy against a non-qualified team from the other group.
Qualification System
1. By points
2. By goal difference
3. By highest number of goals scored
4. By match result between the teams
5. By fair play table (lowest number of red and yellow cards)
As this is an international tournament, no more than two teams from the same country may participate in the same group.
Disciplinary Rules
- Accumulation of Yellow Cards: any player who receives three yellow cards in the qualifying stage will be suspended for one game. Cards will be cleared only for the final.
- Direct Red Card: automatic one-game suspension, unless the disciplinary board deems a longer suspension appropriate.
- Expulsion for Double Yellow: does not result in an automatic suspension but may result in a suspension pending the referee's report.

Communication
