For games that require a winner, if the game is tied at the end of regulation play, regular FIFA penalty kicks will be taken to determine a winner. The following conditions will apply:
- Only players on the field at the end of the match are eligible to take a penalty kick. All eligible players will remain at the center line except the keeper and kicker taking the penalty kick. (The keeper from the team not taking the kick shall wait to the side of the goal.)
- The referee will decide on which goal the kicks will take place.
- The referee will toss a coin with both team captains. The winner of the coin toss shall have the choice of whether to kick first or second. o Both teams shall take five (5) kicks taken alternatively.
- Each kick shall be taken by a different player. Not until all eligible players of a team, including the goalkeeper, have taken a kick may a player of the same team take a second kick.
- Any eligible player may change place with the goalkeeper at any time during the taking of the kicks.
- The taking of the kicks shall be in accordance with Law 13.
