What sets the adidas Tango League apart are the exciting new rules introduced in every edition, it tests a football creator’s ability to literally think on their toes. The second edition, in July, saw the 30 seconds of fame rule in which the buzzers were activated on the pitch for 30 seconds and any team that scored got two goals for every goal scored. In the upcoming edition, adidas has introduced the COPA strike rule, wherein every team will be given the latest adidas COPA boots and any team that scores with these boots will be counted as two goals.
