IFAB to consider new measures against time-wasting in football

news.sportbox.ru (Russian)

IFAB will discuss new measures to combat time-wasting in football. The governing body is exploring ways to improve game flow and reduce deliberate delays. The organization is considering options like countdown clocks for throw-ins and goal kicks, and ways to minimize time lost during substitutions. These proposals follow recent rule changes regarding goalkeepers holding the ball. Potential rule changes will be further reviewed at IFAB's annual meeting next week. Any approved amendments are likely to be tested before a potential implementation after the 2026 World Cup.
