Question Number: 16541Law 8 - Start and Restart of Play 9/4/2007RE: Competive Adult Jose Sandoval of New Britain, CT USA asks...At the conclusion of regulation time, the game is tied. The referee has the teams switch ends and starts the overtime period. is this correct? Answer provided by Referee Gary Voshol The Laws of the Game state, "Competition rules may provide for two further equal periods, not exceeding 15 minutes each, to be played. The conditions of Law 8 will apply." That means the overtime periods start in the same manner as the first and second halves did - there would be another coin toss, and the winner of the toss would choose ends of the field. The loser would get the kickoff. At the start of the 2nd overtime period, the teams switch ends and the opposite team kicks off.
Local league rule modifications may override the FIFA procedure, however. You would have to check.
