RULES 1V1
Remember, street soccer is a game of respect, so remember to keep a positive vibe during the event.
Time
A panna match lasts 3 minutes
How to win
There are two ways of winning a panna match: Winning by panna knock out, or winning by
having the most goals. Please read the rules for panna knock out.
How games are started
Players always greet each other before the game. Players start center court with their backs to each other
and the ball in between them. They must look straight ahead (with the judge out of sight). When the judge
blows the whistle and starts the game, the players may turn or move. If the judge decides that a player false
starts or takes the ball illegally (elbows or similar) the ball is given to the other player.
Goals
A goal can be scored from all over the field (including own goals), however, the ball may not bounce of the
boarding and into the goal. When a player scores a goal, the player must let the opponent start his attack
before the player can take the ball back again.
Panna knock out
A panna knock out means game over. A panna is when the ball is played between the opponents legs. In
1vs1 you do NOT have to receive the ball on the other side. You can not make a panna unless you have the
ball. The panna must be intentional (remember it is a game of respect; we have to be able to trust you if you
say that your panna is intentional). The judge assigned to the game has the final call.
Physical contact and officials
Only limited physical contact is allowed. Try to avoid all forms of pushing and remember to dribble face to
face. If a ball is taken using a two-hand nudge or jumping into the ball with both legs closed, the ball is given
back to the other player. The judges are allowed to enforce upon any type of unfair play.
Officials always have final say on what will happen
Extra Time
When the time is over the game is stopped. If it is a tie, 1 minute extra time is applied. Within the
extra time, the player who makes a panna, is up by two goals or in front when the extra time ends wins the
game. If the game is still tied, we play golden goal. First goal or panna wins. The player that had the ball
when time is out, starts with the ball in the extra time.
Format
The panna tournament will begin with group stages (and perhaps a pre qualification group stage stage).
Note that the organisers may choose to seed stronger players with previous international experience and
high level Within group stage games there is no extra time (ie. if a game ends in a tie, it is a tie). In the
standard group stage the best two players of each group goes on to the knockout phase. In the knockout
phase you are out if you lose a game, except in the semi-finals where you get to play a game for third place
