Captain (association football)

The team captain of a football team is a team member who is chosen to be the leader during a football match. Mostly a captain is an older or more experienced player. A team captain often wears an armband.
Tasks.
The captain has to participate in the coin toss before the match and before a penalty shootout. Referees mostly talk to the captain about the behaviour of him and his team mates. When the team wins a trophy it is given to the captain.
Vice-captain.
A "vice-captain" (or "assistant captain") is a player that is expected to captain the side when the club's captain is not playing.
 Similarly, some clubs also name a "3rd captain", a "4th captain", or even a "5th captain" to take the role of captain when both the captain and vice-captain are unavailable.
