- A regional roster must consist of 14 players (11 starters + 3 substitutes).

- Players can be selected to play out of position and will be given a temporary change of primary position for the tournament to the listed position.
- Every region will be given a Supersub BOT that will be used as a substitute in case of emergencies. This player will not count towards the roster limit.
Transfer regulations
- A player may transfer their WSFC eligibility once per career.
- Players eligible for transfer are:
- A player currently eligible for the United States region.
- A goalkeeper from a region with 2 or more non-Academy and non-retiring active status goalkeepers.
- Emergency transfers of inactive players for a specific tournament are temporary assignments in case a region has no players at a given position. The assignments will be done using a draft-like system where regional managers may pick from the pool of inactives in descending order based on the number of players needed to complete the full roster.
