| Duties |
| |
Two assistant referees are
appointed whose duties, subject to the decision of the referee, are
to indicate:
- when the whole of the ball has passed out of the field of play;
- which side is entitled to a corner kick, goal kick or throw-in;
- when a player may be penalised for being in an offside position;
- when a substitution is requested;
- when misconduct or any other incident has occurred out of the
view of the referee;
- when offences have been committed whenever the assistants are
closer to the action than the referee (this includes, in particular
circumstances, offences committed in the penalty area);
- whether, at penalty kicks, the goalkeeper has moved forward
before the ball has been kicked and if the ball has crossed the
line.

| Assistance |
| |
- The assistant referees also assist the referee to control the
match in accordance with the Laws of the Game. In particular,
they may enter the field of play to help control the 9.15m distance.
- In the event of undue interference or improper conduct, the referee
will relieve an assistant referee of his duties and make a report
to the appropriate authorities.
