The changes to the Laws of the Game for 2007-08 are minimal and only three are strictly applicable to the games at the youth and adult levels (Those 3 are marked with a *). The link below will give you the complete Memorandum, but the highlights are as follows with new text in bold face type:

Law 1 - There should be no advertising of any kind on the ground within the technical area or within one meter from the touchline.

* Law 4 - Basic equipment - a jersey or shirt - if undergarments are worn, the color of the sleeves should be the same main color as the sleeve of the jersey or shirt. Shorts - if undershorts are worn, they are of the same main color as the shorts.

* Law 4 - Players must no reveal undershirts that contain slogans or advertising. The basic compulsory equipment must not contain any political, religious or personal statements.

Law 4 - A player removing his jersey to reveal slogans or advertising will be sanctioned by the competition organizer. The team of a player whose basic compulsory equipment contains political, religious or personal slogans or statements will be sanctioned by the competition organizer or by FIFA.

Fourth Official
The fourth official may be appointed under the competition rules and officiates if any of the three match officials is unable to continue, unless a reserve assistant referee is appointed.

A reserve assistant referee may be also appointed under the competition rules. His only duty shall be to replace an assistant referee who is unable to continue or to replace the fourth official, as required.

* Celebration of a Goal
A player must be cautioned when: he covers his head or face with a mask or other similar items.

For a complete explanation of the changes to the Laws of the Game, attend your recertification clinic prior to the start of the fall season of 2007 because the changes are in effect as of July 1, 2007!
