Interesting email that ended up on my desk via various sources, if it applies to top level clubs then the same rule will apply to local futsal clubs on the cold of Second Avenue and Kent Street!

Dear Colleagues
Snoods
(Neck Scarves)
The International Football Association Board
held their Annual meeting at the Celtic Manor Hotel in Newport, Wales on Saturday
5th March.
At that meeting it was decided that Snoods (Neck
Scarves) that some players wear could constitute a danger to themselves if an
opponent pulled them and were not part of the Basic Equipment as outlined under
Law 4 – Players Equipment.
Therefore, with immediate effect players are
not allowed to wear these garments and I would ask you to inform your
management/playing staff of this decision.
Yours sincerely
