The teams can freely choose the style and colour of their uniform. Each team should bring a second set of uniform too. We recommend wearing shin guards.

12. Other points

The Székesfehérvár City Soccer Association’s processing rules for football cups is used by the final evaluation of the matches.

According to the point system, teams standing on equal points are ranked by goal difference and, if still even, by the number of goals scored. If the number of the scored goals is also equal, the rank is decided through penalty shootouts. If the penalty shootout concerns more than 2 teams, it is determined by a draw which 2 teams start it.

If the final game is tied at the end of regulation time, it goes into extra time, which consists of one further 8-minute period. If the score is still tied after extra time, penalty shootouts come.

By other ranking matches (semi-finals, match for the 3rd place), penalty shootouts come directly after the regulation time, according to the rules of the Székesfehérvár City Soccer Association.

If the two teams in play would wear the same colour, the first named team in the cup schedule should change its shirt.

The Sport Office provides balls for the Cup.
