Report: Time limit could be coming for World Cup throw-ins, goal kicks
- The International Football Association Board will meet in Wales on Saturday to consider law changes, including five-second countdowns for throw-ins and goal kicks, which could be adopted before July 1.
- The International Football Association Board says the package is intended to preserve game flow and cut stoppage time, aiming to protect player welfare and ease pressures on supporters and broadcasters.
- Referees would be empowered to start visible five-second hand counts when restarts are delayed, and VAR protocols would expand to permit quick checks of corner awards and certain red-card scenarios.
- The FIFA World Cup could be the first competition to use approved VAR measures, and lawmakers require that if a corner is taken quickly while a check is pending, play must continue.
- The International Football Association Board is weighing a 10-second substitution limit that could leave teams down a player for at least one minute if breached, while goalkeeper injuries remain exempt but future trials are possible.
