1 day agoCanadian league set to trial Wenger's offside idea
If approved the trial will begin when the 2026 season of the Canadian Premier League kicks off in April. Wenger, who has been Fifa's head of global football development since 2019, proposes that there should be a complete gap between the attacker and the second-to-last opposition player - effectively the last defender, given the goalkeeper's usual positioning. Critics have suggested that daylight offside will give too much advantage to the attacking team.
