Rules Trivia
How well do you really know the Laws of the Game?
25 questions on pitch and goal dimensions, match time, VAR, offside and kit rules — most shown as an A/B/C visual diagram, not just text. CONMEBOL-specific rules (VAR, substitutions, minimum players) were checked against the Copa Libertadores' own current regulations, not assumed from other competitions.
The Laws of the Game, Explained
Football's Laws of the Game are set by IFAB (the International Football Association Board), and they're almost identical across every FIFA-affiliated competition — from a local league to the Copa Libertadores. This trivia mode covers the 25 most-searched rules: pitch and goal dimensions, match time, the VAR system, the offside law, cards, and mandatory equipment.
What's Universal, and What Each Organizer Decides
Most of the rules in this trivia are universal IFAB Laws of the Game — they apply identically in the Copa Libertadores as in any other FIFA competition. But three points are left to each organizer's own discretion: VAR usage, the minimum number of players needed to continue a match, and the number of permitted substitutions. For those three, we checked CONMEBOL's own current 2026 Copa Libertadores regulations rather than assuming they match another competition's rules.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Rules Trivia work?
Each question covers one of football's 25 Laws of the Game — pitch and goal dimensions, match time, VAR, offside, cards and kit rules. Most include a visual A/B/C diagram. You have 20 seconds per question.
Are the rules the same in the Copa Libertadores as in other competitions?
Most of them are — pitch, goal and ball dimensions, half length and card rules are universal IFAB Laws of the Game, identical in every FIFA-affiliated competition. But VAR, the minimum number of players needed to continue a match, and the substitution count are organizer-specific decisions — we checked those against the Copa Libertadores' own current 2026 regulations rather than copying them from another tournament.
Why don't many South American stadiums measure exactly 105×68m?
That's the ideal regulation size, but the Laws of the Game allow a range, and many of South America's historic stadiums were built before that standard became so strict — which is why several Libertadores grounds don't quite match it exactly.
