Det finns vanligtvis två olika system att spela, höst-vår och vår-höst, och hur fotbollssäsongen skall spelas är omdebatterat inom fotbollen, då de flesta matcherna spelas utomhus och därmed är beroende av väder och vind. Värmeslingor och konstgräs är åtgärder som tillämpas mot snö och kyla. Om höst-vår tillämpas p...
