News Official statement Outcome reported
  • Estonian league leaders FCI Levadia Tallinn beat Paide Linnameeskond 2-0.
  • Levadia appeared to breach the league rule requiring at least two club-trained players to start and remain on the field, subject to listed exceptions.
  • The football association said Levadia would not lose the points.

FCI Levadia Tallinn, the leader of Estonia’s top football division, earned a 2-0 win over Paide Linnameeskond. The victory, however, came with a possible rules problem involving the league’s club-trained-player requirement.

Rule 55.14 says every team must start with at least two club-trained players and keep at least two on the field throughout the match. The rule allows exceptions if a club-trained player is sent off, injured or otherwise unable to continue after the team has used all its substitutions.

Levadia apparently breached the requirement during the match. The Estonian football association said, however, that the club would not be stripped of its points.
