Changes to Seven Football Rules by the International Football Association Board (IFAB) Explained

The International Football Association Board (IFAB) has put into effect, starting this July, changes to seven football rules. O UOL explains below what each of them says from now on.

Behavior of goalkeepers in penalty kicks

The provocations of Emiliano Martínez, goalkeeper of Argentina, during the penalty shootouts in the World Cup made the IFAB debate and change the rule on the behavior of these players. The new measure provides that goalkeepers must stay on top of the line, face to face with the kicker, without acting in a way that distracts or distracts the opponent, as well as delaying the beat. These athletes are also not allowed to touch the goalposts or the net.

Additions for celebration

From now on, the time wasted during goal celebrations will also be considered by the referees when deciding on the added time for each stage of the match.

When in doubt, card to the coach

The new rule states that, if the referee is unable to identify any member of the coaching staff or reserve player who has committed an infraction, the card must be given to the team’s coach.

Pitch invasion before the goal

If a player or member of the technical committee of the team that scores a goal is on the pitch and directly interferes with the goal play, the attempt must be annulled and the match restarted with a foul at the place where the ‘invader’ was. On the other hand, if there is no interference in the bid, the goal will be validated.

In the event that a player or member of the coaching staff of the team that conceded the goal invades the field and directly interferes with the play, the goal will also be validated.

Offside player receives ball from opponent

The new rule expressly provides that any striker who is offside and receives a ball from an opponent who had “total control” of it, will be able to play. The only case in which this will not apply will be when a goalkeeper counters an opponent’s kick and the ball is offered to an offside player. In this case, the bid must be canceled.

If the referee judges that the defender who touched the ball did not have full control of it when he ended up ‘serving’ the opponent, the offside must also be called.

red card on penalty

The new recommendation provides that the referee should only send off a player who committed a penalty if he has not disputed the ball at any time. If the athlete commits the penalty having shown any attempt to stop the ball, he must not be expelled.

Reserve assistant referee with power

Previously, the rule provided that only the referee, assistants, fourth official and additional assistant referees could give their opinions during the match. Now, the reserve assistant referee, who is also part of the refereeing commission, will be able to participate in the communications between them.
