The regulations for the World Cup change from World Cup to World cup. For instance, the 2006 Regulations for Japan only permitted 30 players in the provisioinal list under Article 8 Eligibility of Players. The most recent regulations applicable are shown below.

Article 26 List of players – final competition

1. Each association that qualifies for the final competition shall send FIFA a list of 35 players (showing the full last name(s), all first names, popular name, place and date of birth, passport number, club and country of the club, height, weight, number of caps won, number of goals scored) whom it has called up in accordance with the relevant provisions of Annex 1 of the FIFA Regulations for the Status and Transfer of Players. The provisional list of 35 players must be sent to FIFA at least 30 days prior to the kick-off of the opening match.
2. The lists of 35 players will be published by the FIFA general secretariat.
3. Each association will then be required to provide FIFA with a final list of no more than 23 players (three of whom shall be goalkeepers). This final list is not limited to the players on the provisional list. The association must send this final list to FIFA prior to the kick-off of the opening match in accordance with the deadline stipulated in the relevant FIFA circular.
4. The final list of not more than 23 players (showing the full last name(s), all first names, popular name, number on the shirt, position, place and date of birth, passport number, club and country of the club, height, weight, number of caps won, number of goals scored) shall be submitted to the FIFA general secretariat, using the offi cial form for this purpose. Only the numbers 1 to 23 may be allocated to these players, with number 1 being reserved exclusively for one of the goalkeepers. The shirt numbers for the remaining two goalkeepers may be any of the numbers between 2 and 23. The numbers on the back of the shirts shall correspond with the numbers indicated on the fi nal list. Only these 23 players (except in cases of force majeure recognised by the FIFA Organising Committee) will be permitted to compete in the final competition.
5. The final lists of 23 players will be published by the FIFA general secretariat.
6. A player listed on the fi nal list may only be replaced in the event of serious injury up until 24 hours before the kick-off of his team’s first match. Such replacements must be approved in writing by the FIFA Sports Medical Committee upon receipt and acceptance of a detailed medical assessment in one of the four offi cial FIFA languages. The FIFA Sports Medical Committee will approve the request if the injury is sufficiently serious to prevent the player from taking part in the
competition. The participating member association shall nominate the replacement player from the offi cial list and inform FIFA accordingly of the player’s full details (cf. art. 26, par. 4) at the same time as when submitting the request to replace the injured player.
7. All 23 players shall be named on the list of players for each match (11 selected players and 12 substitutes). Up to a maximum of three of the substitutes may take the place of the selected players at any time during the match.
8. Not more than 23 people (11 offi cials and 12 substitutes) shall be allowed to sit on the substitutes’ bench.
9. Before the start of the fi nal competition, all listed players must prove their identity, nationality and age by producing their legally valid individual passport with photograph (stating day, month and year of birth). Any player who fails to submit his passport will not be allowed to take part in the final competition. Every player must also sign a declaration of compliance wherein he agrees to submit to these Regulations.

Article 27 Accreditation – final competition

1. FIFA and/or the LOC shall issue each player and official with an official accreditation bearing a photograph. Each participating member association will receive a maximum of 50 accreditation cards.
2. Only those players who are in possession of such an accreditation card are entitled to play in the matches of the final competition. The accreditation card shall always be available for inspection prior to the start of the match.
3. The participating member associations shall ensure that all accreditation data required by FIFA is submitted by the deadline stipulated by FIFA. Further details will be outlined in a FIFA circular letter.
