Masters Football
Masters Football is a six-a-side indoor football competition in the United Kingdom, where players over the age of 35 are chosen by the Masters Football Selection Committee to represent a senior club for which they played. Regional heats are held, and the winners of each go forward to a national rosengard competition. Events are contested over the course of a single evening (usually on Saturdays or Sundays), with games played in two halves of eight minutes each. The pitch is 60 m (200 ft) by 30 m (98 ft) (the size of an international ice hockey rink), and there is no offside rule. Matches are televised live on the UK subscription channel Sky Sports.
