Laws of the Game
It does not matter if you are a professional or an amateur, an expert or a die-hard fan, or just curious. If you referee, play, coach or watch football – you have to know the Laws of the Game.
Keep up to date with the latest edition! This first-ever official app from The IFAB allows you to:
- check out the full Laws of the Game on your mobile device, whether offline or online
- read all recent changes (with explanations)
- compare this year’s new Laws with previous versions
- add your own notes and comments, and create favourite chapters
Since 1886, The International Football Association Board (The IFAB) has been the only body authorised to change the Laws of the Game, and its goal is to ensure a better understanding of the Laws and their spirit.
As the game is essentially the same on every football pitch – from the FIFA World Cup™ Final to the local competition in the smallest village, the Laws of the Game must be the same in all competitions and friendly matches organised by the national football associations, confederations and FIFA. If changes are made to the Laws, they usually come into force on 1 June each year.

This is a really easy to use App. The laws are laid out clearly and the information is quick to get to. You can download it all so no need for an internet connection at remote pitches! Seems well thought out and I'm looking forward to what IFAB might do in the future (video examples...)
The App is Simple and Precise. But Drawings or Pictures required. Reading is boring at times. Pictures explain better & make it intresting, as well as easy to remember and learn. Rest the app is helpful and beautiful like the game.
This app is very helpful for learning and understanding the laws of the game and also wonderful with Q&A section. If there is triva test it would be fantastic. This will be make us even better understanding about the laws.
The app has all the info but in orchitis versions it was a lot more accessible to the user. It is very confusing to find things.
The app works great when online but there is an issue searching when offline. When I try to search the Laws of the Game when offline, I get the message “The internet connection appears to be offline”. How can I search the Laws of the Game when offline? I got a response from the developers on my question: "After checking this internally, I have to inform you that the search function is only available online."
excellent.. work thanks to IFAB.. vey much handy and easy to understand and navigate it. instead of turning or scrolling down... directly we can check what info we need.. thanks a lot. it will be help full to have videos and images to understand it.. easily.. thank you Ramu TELANGANA India
The update is very good. Please include more pictures and short videos/animation for even better understanding of the Laws. Keep up the good work.
This app is really beautiful. For a referee like myself, it's probably the most important app in my phone and it's easy to use too as it can be accessed both offline and online. I give it a 5star rating
I've not been able to open mine since I downloaded and installed it. Instead of opening the language section soi can proceed to use, it keeps showing error.
Great app with ability to use offline. I can't seem to find a way to download all content in a single go Am i missing something.
im very happy the IFAB took time to provide this App its very useful for those that doesn't have the hardcopy of the Laws of the Game, my contribution on the development is that, they should be an update on this App when the there is Changes on Laws of the Game.. also there should be another IFAB Laws of the Game TECHNICAL QUESTIONS and ANSWERING to build the knowledge of the Fans, Coaches, Player's around the world ... once again thank you for providing such awesome App God bless you all..
Handy that this is available. Would be more useful if it had the 2018/9 rules included as existing leagues (including mine) are running with the previous rules.
Such a great app for anyone involved in soccer: players, coaches, parents, and refs! Don't argue with the officials unless you can quote the law ;) Super easy to read the whole book or search for just a specific law by word or phrase.
So I just received a test push notification message from IFAB. Why does this app need push messages? At all? Breaking news on a law change? Reducing stars as I fear someone has lost the narrative.
Long overdue, easy to use, format allows quick reference and loading. Thanks IFAB.
It's amazing .... And best way to learn football referring . I'm also a referee . This App help me a lot for learn the better referring
great to have the laws in a easy to read format. no longer do I need to store the pdf on my device and scroll through..
It's awesome app...simple representation...I want the updates to be be added soon...it will be so nice if trivia questions of LOTG added along with that...
very good app. congratulations IFAB. very helpful and easy to understand. also for teaching
I referee ECNL, RCL, and High School soccer. If I need a refresher, the app is right there to use! You also can make your own notes!
Really easy to use and works perfectly. A great replacement for the printed book
Is good for everyone to use it. Because it shows you how to get an experience in the field. So everybody should try and get some on his phone.
The latest version of app does not exactly offer the best user experience. Did it go through any usability testing?
what took you so long. superb interface. learning at ease. has everything. super cool
A very good app by all standard by IFAB. Could you kindly update it so that we could get and download the 2021/2022 version?
This app is absolutely perfect, easly accessible, as well as with good graphics. It is also exceptional in its favorite, my note and sharing features. But the majority reading text appears small then i recommend if you can just minimize the other headings and maximize the reading full body of the text.
