2. Eyewear & Glasses Policy

LSFC follows IFAB and Football Australia guidelines regarding assisted vision to ensure inclusivity and safety.

Permitted: Sports goggles, sports glasses, or sports sunglasses with soft/flexible frames and polycarbonate lenses.
Referee Discretion: Under IFAB Law 4, the match referee has the final say on whether eyewear poses a danger to any player.
