The rest of the world limits substitutions so that fitness is part of the game.


I don't know about all of the rest of the world, but I don't think they all limit substitutions for youth players. My daughter toured NW England in 2001 with a U15 club team and I went along as a chaperone. To my surprise, unlimited substitution was allowed in the matches. I asked the referees and coaches about it and was told unlimited subbing was normal for girls youth matches.
