What's on this football match report
The sheet is the standard match report a referee or tournament secretary files after every fixture, on one A4 page: the competition header with match number, date, kick-off and venue; both teams' starting XI in numbered rows with five substitute rows and a coach line each; the four officials' lines; and a result strip with half-time, full-time, extra-time and penalty-shootout boxes plus the winner. Below that sit the three logs every dispute turns on — goals with minute and scorer, cards with minute, player and yellow/red, and substitutions with minute, player off and player on — closed by signatures for the referee, both captains and the match commissioner.
Filling it correctly
Enter players one per line: the first eleven print as the starting XI and the next five as substitutes, matching how team lists are submitted before kick-off. Record events in the logs as they happen with the match minute — a card logged at the moment is evidence; one reconstructed after the whistle is an argument. Half-time and full-time boxes take the score in A–B order; extra time and penalties stay blank in league games decided in ninety minutes.
Print & use tips
Print portrait A4 at 100% scale — one sheet per fixture plus a spare. The pitch-green accents photocopy cleanly in black and white. Collect both captains' signatures immediately after the final whistle, and pair this sheet with the Fixture Generator so match numbers on reports match the printed fixture list. These layouts follow common school and federation-style conventions — your competition's printed rules always prevail.
