Multiball System
The multiball system in football (soccer), football permits a match immediately to resume with another soccer ball, ball when the original match ball goes out of play. The International Football Association Board Laws of the Game (association football), laws of the game were changed for the 2006/2007 edition to make it legal to use more than a single ball per game. Traditionally, professional football matches employ the use of a single ball, and when the ball leaves the Association football pitch, field of play, the game pauses until the ball is returned. According to the Laws of the Game (association football), Laws of the Game, the ball may be changed on the "authority of the Referee (association football), referee" if it "bursts or becomes defective", though typically it will also be replaced if kicked out of the stadium. However, a new system was introduced by some football leagues and associations to increase the number of match balls used per game.
