Innovative rules return for 2026<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s Otten Innovation Cup will once again feature a number of innovative game rules, in collaboration with the KNVB.<\/p>\n
The modified game rules that will be applied are:<\/p>\n
Effective playing time
Games consist of two 20-minute halves, with the clock stopped whenever play is stopped.<\/p>\n
Yellow cards and time penalties
Not every yellow card automatically results in a time penalty. For certain offences, a player receives a yellow card, while other offences are punished with a four-minute time penalty.<\/p>\n
Dribble-in
When the ball crosses the sideline, it is not thrown in but instead restarted with a dribble-in.<\/p>\n
Self-pass
For free kicks, goal kicks and corner kicks, the taker is allowed to touch the ball again immediately before another player has touched it.<\/p>\n
Flying substitutions
Teams are allowed unlimited substitutions. Changes can take place during the match, with one player substituted at a time and a minimum of 10 seconds between substitutions.<\/p>\n
The modified format will add another dimension to the Young Reds\u2019 experience as they test themselves against some of the world\u2019s leading academy programs in Eindhoven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Adelaide United\u2019s Young Reds are set to take on some of world football\u2019s biggest academies at the 2026…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":71719,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[395,957,5013,5014,958,5015],"class_list":["post-71718","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-adelaide","tag-adelaide","tag-adelaide-united","tag-adelaide-united-youth","tag-aufc-youth","tag-featured","tag-npl"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71718"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71718\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/australia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
