Substitutions are generally made to replace a player who has become tired or injured, or who is performing poorly, or for tactical reasons (such as bringing a striker on in place of a defender). A player who has been substituted during a match takes no further part in the game, in games played under the standard International Football Association Board Laws of the Game.

It is now common for games to allow a maximum of 5 substitutions; some competitions allow for an additional substitution when playing ext ...
