As in the 3-0 win over Croatia, 16-year-old Spanish star Yamal started the 1-0 win over Italy and was substituted after 71 minutes – but not too late?

According to the newspaper Bild, such a question was raised because the match had already started at 9 p.m. local time, and according to the German Juvenile Protection Act, minors are not allowed to work after 8 p.m.

This applies not only to Germans, but also to young people abroad in Germany. However, there is an exception for athletes, who can also be present on the field during late-night competitions. Therefore, they can be used until 11 p.m.

Around 10:30 p.m., Yamal was replaced by Ferran Torres, so ...... Maybe that's not really a problem, right? However, Yamal's mission for the night did not end with the final whistle. According to ZDF, his job also includes post-match interviews and outings. If anything like this happens after 11 p.m., he could face a fine.

Stephen Graff, a legal expert at the University of Konstanz, said the Spanish Football Federation would not be threatened at any competitive level, meaning that no action could be taken against the outcome of the match. However, they could still face fines of up to 30,000 euros. However, this is only a theoretical threat, and so far the German authorities have not taken action against such incidents in the field of sports.
