Editing Scoreboard (section)

=== Association football ===
An [[association football]] scoreboard usually shows the score for the home and away team, as well as the current match time. A board displaying the current stoppage time is usually held up by one of the match officials towards the end of the first and second half. The same board is also used to denote the [[jersey number]]s of players coming in and leaving the game during a [[Substitute (football)|substitution]], with the substitute's number appearing in green, while the leaving player is denoted in red.

Some amateur and youth levels will have the clock count down.

Some American venues will use a multi-purpose gridiron/soccer venue type scoreboard where various statistics are shown.  Such may include either total fouls, corner kicks, shots on goal, or other important statistics for spectators to learn their team's overall performance.
