The results of the study indicated that the younger players (20-24 years) and midfielders were more prone to sustaining an injury; the lower limbs were the most affected; the majority of injuries was the result of being tackled, and significance was found between the mechanism of injury and playing position with defenders and midfielders being more likely to sustain a lower limb injury compared to goalkeepers and forwards who were likely to incure more trunk injuries....
