NeFUB approves new competition rules for 2026-2027 season

During the NeFUB General Members' Meeting on September 16, 2026, several proposals regarding competition rules were approved for the 2026-2027 season.

Key changes include allowing goalkeepers to score in O12, O14, and O18 small-field competitions. Additionally, the cost for guest licenses will be reduced to €0, removing extra expenses for players representing different clubs.

For senior tournaments (3v3, mixed, and large-field mixed), new pilot rules will introduce greater flexibility. The previous Wednesday 23:59 deadline for registering or transferring players will be abolished, allowing clubs to register players up until the start of a match, provided they are correctly registered in the club portal. This shift moves more responsibility to clubs, as the license committee will perform checks after the fact rather than beforehand.
