Florence Historical Soccer, Rule of the game

Florence Historical Soccer, Rules Of The Game

 

The game is a unique mixture between modern rugby, soccer and greco-roman wrestling.

 

Games last fifty minutes, in which players (27 on each team!) attempt to throw the ball into the opponent’s goal, to get a point, or caccia. But any throws towards the adversary’s net must be made with great precision, because if it goes over the opponent’s goal, due to poor aim or a deflection by the defence, half a point is scored to the defending team. Every time a goal is made the teams change sides.

 

At the end of the tournament, the winning team receives a live Chianina cow from Il Maestro di Campo (the Master of the Field), while the musicians play the winner’s anthem.

 

After the match, a lavish banquet is served, where for once (luckily for the cow), bistecca is not on the menu!
