Is there any rule in FIFA regarding dimensions of a shin guard? Why does a player wear a small shin guard when the exposed part of the tibia is still too large?
I see. So why do players wear small shin guards when the exposed part of the tibia is still too large?
One possible reason could be comfort. Players may feel hindered by larger shin guards, and may opt for smaller ones that still meet FIFA's guidelines for protection. Another reason could be personal preference or habit. Some players may have been using the same type of shin guard for years and may not want to switch to a larger one.
