FIFA has approved new rule changes to make the game faster and reduce time wasting.
Key changes:
1οΈβ£ Substitutions:
Substituted players must leave the pitch within 10 seconds. If they take longer, the replacement player will have to wait 1 minute before entering.
2οΈβ£ Throw-ins & Goal Kicks:
Teams will have 5 seconds to take a throw-in or goal kick. If they donβt restart play in time, possession goes to the opponent.
3οΈβ£ Injury Treatment:
Players who receive treatment on the pitch must leave the field and can only return after 1 minute once play restarts.
4οΈβ£ VAR Reviews:
VAR will now be allowed to review 2nd yellow cards and corner decisions if there is a clear mistake.
These new rules will be introduced at the #WorldCup2026.
