What would the impediment be like in the new rule that is being tested Image: Reproduction
The offside rule, today, works as follows: any part of the body is sufficient to stop the move — except arms and hands. The intention of the new proposal is to reduce the number of impediments and detect them in a simpler way.

Wenger’s plan was presented in the second half of 2023 and was dubbed the “daylight rule”. The former coach works as FIFA’s head of global football development.
According to “The Athletic”, one of the tests was carried out in under-18 games in Italy. Other tests also took place in grassroots competitions in the Netherlands and Sweden.
The proposal is seen as advantageous for attackers, who can benefit from the possible change in the rule. However, there is still no indication that the change can be applied soon or whether the idea will be rejected, as has already happened with other recommendations.
