• The substitution occurs after a stoppage in play when the ball goes out of play. This does not include free kicks (direct, indirect, or penalty).
• The players coming off the field must exit on the bench side of the field. Failure to follow this condition will result in a yellow card.

Play will not be held up for the substitutions to be completed. Get them done as quickly as possible.
