So recently at KSS (Kahunda secondary school) there was an inter dorm sports competition and more recently a regional interschool competition. The main sport is football and as far as I’ve seen exclusively for boys, though I’ve seen a couple of girls doing more kick ups than I can do by far.
When a goal is scored the avid drumbeating fans (other students) run onto the pitch to congratulate and celebrate with their scoring team. The sideline is not objective but subjective – it’s debateable. For the interschool competition they marked out a sideline but before that it was where the ref decided it was the watching students or where the players determine.
Most students don’t have a pair of shoes to play football in (it’s not a necessity). But you’d see a few pairs of shoes on the pitch. Often one student would have one shoe and another the other of the pair.
The referee’s cards can only be seen by the ref and anyone who has really good eyesight because they are about the size of your small fingernail. The ref would often have his discussions with a player by blasting on the whistle in quick succession almost like he was talking through it like Morse code.
In the way of first aid, there is none. If someone can’t get off the pitch themselves a handful of students come on and pick the injured player by his limbs and then walk him off the pitch.
