10 new fifa rules 2019

Here are 10 new FIFA rules introduced in 2019:

  1. Handball Law Change: The IFAB (International Football Association Board) introduced a new law to clarify the handball rule. The law states that if the ball hits a player's hand or arm and it is not deliberate, it will not be considered a handball.
  2. VAR (Video Assistant Referee) Expansion: VAR was introduced in 2018, and in 2019, it was expanded to include more situations, such as offside decisions and penalty decisions.
  3. Goalkeeper Handball: The IFAB introduced a new law to clarify the handball rule for goalkeepers. If a goalkeeper deliberately handles the ball with their hands, it will be considered a handball and a free kick will be awarded.
  4. Substitutions: The IFAB introduced a new rule allowing teams to make a fourth substitution in extra time, if the match goes to extra time.
  5. Injury Time: The IFAB introduced a new rule to clarify the injury time rule. The referee will now add injury time at the end of each half, rather than at the end of the match.
  6. Free Kicks: The IFAB introduced a new rule to clarify the free kick rule. If a player takes a free kick and the ball is touched by an opponent, the free kick will be retaken.
  7. Penalty Kicks: The IFAB introduced a new rule to clarify the penalty kick rule. If a player takes a penalty kick and the ball is touched by the goalkeeper, the penalty kick will be retaken.
  8. Offside: The IFAB introduced a new rule to clarify the offside rule. If a player is in an offside position and becomes involved in the play, they will be considered offside.
  9. Fouls: The IFAB introduced a new rule to clarify the foul rule. If a player commits a foul and the opposing team is awarded a free kick, the player who committed the foul will be given a yellow card.
  10. Yellow and Red Cards: The IFAB introduced a new rule to clarify the yellow and red card rule. If a player is given a yellow card and then commits another foul, they can be given a red card.

These are just a few of the new FIFA rules introduced in 2019. The IFAB continues to review and update the rules to ensure the game is fair and safe for all players.
