BERLIN (Reuters) - Transgender and non-binary footballers can now decide themselves whether to play for a men's or women's team instead of being bound by personal identification data, the German Football Association (DFB) said on Thursday.

It said the ruling was included in the DFB match regulation for amateurs, the junior regulation and the futsal rulebook.

"This is also the case for transgender footballers who can now change at a moment they decide or can stay on at the team they have been playing for." Since 2018, however, apart from 'female' and 'male', there is also the option of ticking the box for 'diverse' and 'no reference' in the gender section of personal identification documents in Germany.
