"The International Football Association Board (IFAB) have recommended multiple changes to the laws of football at their Annual Business Meeting (ABM) in London. Representatives from the English, Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Irish football associations all have permanent seats on IFAB, which is recognised by FIFA as the organisation responsible for football's codified regulations. And after successfully restricting the time a goalkeeper may hold the ball to eight seconds last year, they have released more recommendations, focusing on limiting tempo disruption."
"Unnecessary interference from Video Assistant Referees (VAR) has continued to enrage fans, especially as some delays can still take over five minutes. However, IFAB have suggested extending VAR's powers, with the caveat of ensuring that this would not slow the flow of play. VAR was first implemented in the Premier League in 2019 One proposal was allowing video match officials to review red cards resulting from factually incorrect second yellow cards,"
IFAB proposed a package of law changes aimed at reducing tempo disruption and improving match flow. The board noted prior changes such as an eight-second limit for goalkeepers and now seeks to extend VAR powers while preventing longer stoppages. Proposed VAR reviews include factually incorrect second-yellow red cards, wrong-team card incidents, and wrongly-awarded corner kicks, with strict caveats to avoid slowing play. Additional measures include forcing players receiving on-field medical treatment to leave for a fixed period, a ten-second exit limit for substitutes, countdowns for throw-ins and goal-kicks, continued development of semi-automated offside technology, and consideration of referee body cameras.
