A football replay match is an additional match played when the rules of a competition require teams to replay a drawn tie instead of deciding the winner immediately through extra time or penalties. Penalty shoot-outs existed in football law, and the 1976 European Championship Final was the first major international final decided by penalties.
However, replays were removed from the first round proper onwards beginning with the 2024–25 FA Cup and remain absent under the current competition format.

Managers continually assess player fitness, workload, and performance throughout the season. Squad rotation decisions are typically made before a match, with changes to the starting line-up helping manage player workload, injuries, and tactical requirements over multiple fixtures.
Squad rotation is a common tactic in football, used when teammates are tired, team performance has declined, or simply if a player needs rest and recovery from an injury. Players in the starting line-up are swapped out with other teammates to achieve the best possible outcome, giving other players the opportunity to take a break.JTNDc2NyaXB0JTIwdHlwZSUzRCUyMnRleHQlMkZqYXZhc2NyaXB0JTIyJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZqcy43YmV0LnBhcnRuZXJzJTJGamF2YXNjcmlwdC5waHAlM0ZwcmVmaXglM0RnMHRwcEFNSVpFbVhyWnp4QzYzOG5XTmQ3WmdxZFJMayUyNmFtcCUzQm1lZGlhJTNENDU5JTI2YW1wJTNCY2FtcGFpZ24lM0Q0MCUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRQ==We’ll cover squad rotation in-depth, including the strategy behind...
