1st Annual Afghan Spring Indoor Soccer Tournament 2010 (Toronto, Canada)
Rules and Regulations: Most of us know that every year soccer tournaments are being held in North America. This time we want to make this happen in Toronto. Therefore, we would like to ask all the Afghan teams from all over Canada to participate in this tournament. We hope to get as many teams as possible to make this an enjoyable event. So far, we have verbal commitments from various teams from Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton, Kitchener, Montreal Ottawa, London Ontario, and many others from across GTA and Ontario. We also would like to invite Afghan Student Associations from different Ontario Universities, Colleges, and Schools to participate in this tournament. The Toronto Ariana Soccer Club and its organizing committee hope to turn this event into a successful tournament so that we can continue holding such tournaments on an annual basis. Also we are trying our best to make it more competitive and professional, so that we can invite more teams from United States in our next up coming tournaments (Indoor). We, therefore, ask that each team to review and agree to adhere to the rules and regulations set forth here so the games can proceed in a professional and yet enjoyable manner for all. General Rules: All games will be played in accordance with FIFA indoor rules and regulations, except with the following amendments/conditions: 1.

In the event of a forfeit, the game will be scored 2-0 against the forfeited team or the team that does not show up for their game. 5.

A list (Game Sheet) of the participating players should be submitted prior to the start of the tournament. Each team / club must have a coach or manager in order to participate in the tournament. The coach or manager is not allowed to play, unless he lists his name as a coach/manager/player. Substitution: Since this is a tournament where we would like almost all the players to take part in the games, each team is allowed to make unlimited substitutions.

Therefore, the referee will wait no more than 5 minutes opposing team.
