EFDF Uniform Requirements for EUC2007
All European Championships events are prestigious in nature. Every tournament reflects on those who play. The standards that are set with uniforms are a major way of convincing the public and media that we should be taken seriously as a sport. The following directives apply to team uniforms.
Shirts
All players in a team shall wear shirts that match in colour and design in each game. Teams shall have available a light-coloured and separate dark-coloured set of team shirts. The shirts shall be numbered with Arabic integral numerals in a range 0-99, with unique numbers for each player on the team. The numbers should be sewn or printed on the back of shirts and should be a minimum of 20 centimetres high and 5 centimetres wide. They should be located so that they are completely visible and have a sufficient difference in colour to the shirt material to allow easy reading. Individual players must use the same shirt numbers throughout the tournament to help with the gathering of playing data.
Shorts
All players in a team shall wear shorts that are matching in colour and design in all games. Shorts may have numbers sewn or printed on the front left leg of the shorts. The numbering should match that of the player's shirt.
Socks
All players in a team should wear socks matching in colour and design in all
games. This is mandatory for all teams in Final Games.
Teams should also be aware that the EUC2007 organising committee reserves the right to impose restrictions on uniform designs that might be considered offensive, derogatory or in breach of legal rules on advertising in sport. As a general guidleine, please consider there will be Under 17 teams particpating in EUC2007, and that local schools will be invited to attend. Please get in touch with us on info@euc2007.org if you have any questions.
