Jewelry Usage Prohibited During Sport Events

So is it allowed? No, it’s not allowed; all items of jewellery (necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings, leather bands, rubber bands etc.) The IFAB Law of the Game handbook clearly states that a player must not wear anything that is dangerous has it been stated under the section of safety.

In team sports, we need to prevent injuring other competitors too. Jewellery should be taken off before activities, and stored in a safe, secure place, to avoid the possibility of causing injuries. The players must be inspected before the start of the match and substitutes must be before they enter the field of play.

If a player is wearing jewellery, the referee must order the player to:

• remove the item.
• leave the field of play at the next stoppage if the player is unable or unwilling to comply.

Such was the case of France defender Jules Kounde who was spotted wearing a gold necklace during the World Cup round of 16 against Poland. The 24-year-old Kounde, who featured in three games at this winter’s World Cup. He could be seen wearing the chain throughout the first-half of Sunday’s clash at the Al thunmama Stadium. Finally, in the 41^st minute, referee Jesus Valenzuela instructed Kotunde to take off the necklace. The problems associated with rings, body piercings, hair ribbons, necklaces and even watches is how disturbing these items can be while playing the football match. So it’s recommended that it should not be allowed during football matches. This advice is pretty universal, even different sports governing bodies approved this fact and also stated the below rules to guide the rules.

• Rings should be removed before activities. If you received a hand or finger injury and swelling occurs the ring may not be removable. This will be terribly painful and causes circulation issues. In extreme cases, the ring may need to be cut off as it can’t be removed.
• Piercings and studs are popular. There is danger of injury to the wearer and/or other competitors from any body piercing. Earrings in particular, are prone to being torn from earlobes when contact is made. If you take part in sport activities and are looking to get a new piercing, it’s important to know a little about healing time and hygiene. After getting a new piercing, the jewellery must stay in place for an extended period of time. For an earlobe piercing, the expected healing time is 6 weeks before you can safely change your earrings. For a cartilage piercing, the healing period is 12 weeks. Be sure to keep those timeframes in mind if your season is about to start.
