There is no sport-specific diet as such. Just make sure your intake of water, glycogen and salts such as sodium and potassium to maintain concentration and awareness levels.

2 hours before a match have something like some wholemeal pasta with mackrel (omega fats - essental fatty acids are vital component for helping brain function).

Bananas have some good natural sugars and potassium which is what carries the signals in the central nervous system CNS.

During the game take in some water as well as Lucozade Sport in the latter parts of the match to maintain performance.

Hope this is some good food for thought. Sorry couldn't help it lol.

I would say no, but it would be beneficial to have the endurance to last a whole match. I would say not too much fast food, but you don't have to go vegetarian.
