SIX new rules will be implemented in the Premier League next season, including confirmed five substitutions and penalty kick adjustments.
SIX CHANGES TO THE FOOTBALL LAWS FOR THE COMING SEASON HAVE BEEN APPROVED.
The International Football Association Board, the game's governing body, has confirmed decisions made in December.
In March, the organization's annual general meeting was scheduled to be streamed live from Zurich.
However, due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, it was rescheduled and finally held in Doha.
Here's a rundown of the six changes you'll notice in the next campaign's gorgeous game.
They will be implemented in both the Premier League and the English Football League.
Players (Law 3)
After the epidemic, competitions had the option of allowing up to five subs per match, but this was only a temporary remedy.
This is now permanent, and it was a major role in the Prem and EFL adopting the new law for next term.
Law 8 - Play begins and ends.
This law now begins with the phrases "the referee tosses a coin" for kick-off selection and ends with the words "the referee tosses a coin," when previously it only stated that a coin toss was necessary but did not specify the identity of the overseer. Seriously!Law 10 - Choosing the winner of a match
The phrases "or team official" have been added to the list of people who can be booked or ejected during a penalty shoot-out.
Fouls and misconduct involving goalkeeper handling are covered by Law 12.
This modification clarifies some ambiguous language, confirming that a goalkeeper can handle the ball inside his or her own penalty area without being punished for depriving a clear goal-scoring opportunity.
The word "unless a goalkeeper within their penalty area" completes the law.
Law 12 - Fouls and misconduct including leaving the field of play to commit an offense against a third party
This refers to a situation in which a player leaves the field to assault a "outside agent," such as a fan, an opposing player, or a member of the coaching staff on the bench or in the dugout, or a pitch invader.
If the ball was "in play" at the moment, the referee will now award an indirect free-kick at the location on the pitch when he exited the field of play. If the ball has been taken out of play, the appropriate restart (kick-off, throw-in, free-kick, corner, or goal-kick) will be used.
The penalty kick (Law 14)
When facing a penalty kick, goalkeepers can now stand one foot behind the line, allowing them to push off from a deeper position and get greater forward momentum.
Previously, the keeper had to have one foot on the line and the other either on it or in front of it.
