Under the Laws of the Game, the goalkeepers are required to wear jersey colors that distinguish them from their team, the opposing team, the opposing goalkeeper, and the referee. The match cannot start if this rule is violated. Most often, the home team's 'keeper will be required to change.

Goalkeepers wear different coloured shirts to differentiate their position and the fact they are allowed to handle the ball within the penalty area. This must not be a similar colour as any of the outfield players including the opposition nor their goalkeepers shirt as on occasions they do go into the oppositions penalty area when a last minute equaliser is needed.

They are not supposed to. For practical reasons this is not often enforced. More importantly, the goal keeper must have a different color than either their team-mates and the opposition.

No. Their jersey must specifically not be similar to either their own team's strip nor that of their opponent. However, outside this restriction, they are free in options.

Can another soccer player go in the goal besides the goalie on the same team?

Assuming a team has substitutions left, any player or substitute may replace the current goalkeeper during any stoppage with the permission of the referee. If no substitutions are left, a field player may replace the current goalkeeper during any stoppage with the permission of the referee. This player will be required to change to a GK jersey and the GK would need to change to a field player jersey.


What are the penalties referees can call on goal keepers?

Goalkeepers are subject to all of the same rules as any field player with a few exceptions, including the obvious fact that they are allowed to handle the ball inside their own penalty area. They can also be called for handling infractions, however, which could include handling the ball after an intentional pass from a teammate, handling it twice, or holding the ball for more than six seconds. Other than handling-related offences (while in the penalty area), the goalkeeper is subject to the exact same rules as any other player on the field. Outside of the penalty area, the goalkeeper is considered exactly the same as any other player on the field, disallowed from using his/her hands to control the ball and as cautionable and expellable as any player on the field.

What is an away jersey?

An away jersey is the uniform that the team wears in the team colours as visiting players, These jerseys are differently coloured than the colours that they wear on their home field. For example if your colours are green and white, the home jersey might be a green jersey with white lettering. An away jersey would be a white jersey with green lettering. The jersey is so designed because the visiting team might have the same colours as the home team, so the play can be distinguished between the visiting team and the home team. If both teams wear the same colours, the away jersey tells that the team with the inverted colours are the visitors.
