5 ifab new law

You're referring to the new laws introduced by the International Football Association Board (IFAB)!

Here are 5 of the new laws introduced by IFAB:

  1. Handball Law: The new handball law aims to reduce the number of handball fouls in the game. The law states that a handball is only considered a foul if the player deliberately handles the ball with their arm, and the ball is moving towards the player's body.
  2. VAR (Video Assistant Referee) Expansion: IFAB has expanded the use of VAR to include more game-changing decisions, such as penalty kicks, direct red cards, and mistaken identity. The technology is designed to help referees make accurate decisions and reduce controversy.
  3. Goalkeeper Handball Law: The new law states that a goalkeeper is not allowed to handle the ball with their hands if it has been deliberately kicked to them by a teammate using their feet. This law aims to prevent goalkeepers from gaining an unfair advantage.
  4. Substitutions Law: IFAB has introduced a new law allowing teams to make a fifth substitution in extra time, provided that the team has used all three of their permitted substitutions during the regular 90 minutes of play.
  5. Offside Law: The new offside law clarifies the definition of "interfering with play" and introduces a new concept called "interfering with an opponent's movement." This law aims to reduce the number of offside decisions and make the game more consistent.

These new laws aim to improve the game, reduce controversy, and increase player safety.
