The new football season will introduce major rule changes designed to speed up play, punish time-wasting, and expand the scope of technology.
Faster substitutions, restarts, and medical treatment
Substitutions will have a strict 10-second limit to be completed. Likewise, if a goalkeeper receives medical treatment, an outfield player must temporarily leave the pitch. Delays in taking throw-ins or goal kicks will be penalized by awarding the throw or a corner to the opposing team, while handling the ball after a goal kick will be punished with a penalty.
Expanded VAR and penalties from the spot
The VAR system will be able to intervene in second yellow cards, wrongly awarded corners, and off-the-ball aggression. Finally, if a penalty results in a goal after an accidental double touch by the taker, the spot kick must be retaken.
