Does anybody know the specific rules about that?  I read about the Perugia incident on wikipedia but it only had one uninformative line about it.  So what is the story?  I know in international competitions it isn't allowed as they are often referred too as mens and womens world cups.

I also read about a Mexican club who wanted to sign a female player but the club owner or something stepped in, barring the transfer.  From memory he barred it not because of rules but because he personally wanted female football separate.

So what are the official rules on this?

Lots of rules all over the place.

Some could probably be overturned.
 
If, for example, Karl Whalen got a sex change, I'm willing to bet he'd be successful in arguing against any prohibition on him playing in the NZFC.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Lets just say that IF we could bend the rules to allow it, I'd recommend Tony P signs up as many of the U17 girls as possible!
