Substitutions are generally made to replace a player who has become tired or injured, or who is performing poorly, or for tactical reasons (such as bringing a striker on in place of a defender).

It is now common for games to allow a maximum of 5 substitutions; some competitions allow for an additional substitution when playing ex ...
