Following a motion at Congress earlier this year  (See Rule 6.2, Rules of Foul Play, The Playing Rules of Football, Official Guide, Part II, 2012)  it was passed that from January 1st 2013 it will be mandatory for players in all age grades, up to and including minor level, to use a mouthguard in all football matches and training sessions. The rule will be extended to U21 and Adult level from January 1st 2014.
It is a matter for each club to ensure the rule is adhered to at training or practice sessions.

Clubs and players should note that players may not be covered under the player injury scheme if they are not wearing a mouthguard. See website for further details.
