Football Change! FIFA confirms implementation of 8 new rules in the Club World Cup

FIFA decided to fully introduce all new regulations adopted by the FIFA Council at the Belfast meeting in February this year in the upcoming Club World Cup. Below, I will introduce the specific content of the relevant new regulations to the students.

1. The goalkeeper must drive the ball out within 5 seconds. When the goalkeeper possesses the ball for more than the specified time, the referee raises his hand and indicates that they must take the ball, otherwise the opponent will receive a corner kick.

2. FIFA will strictly implement the rule that "only the captain can talk to the referee", and any non-captain player who violates the regulations will be given a yellow card.

3. The first time it is activated also includes a new rule called the "Artetta Rule": If a coach or substitute player accidentally touches the ball before the ball is out of bounds, no additional penalties will be imposed, and only the opponent's indirect free kick will be awarded.

4. There is also a new penalty rule that will be applied for the first time: when the free thrower accidentally kicks the ball to other parts of his body (such as kicking the support foot first), and then directly scores the goal, the penalty will be taken again, and the goal will no longer be invalid.

In addition to the reform of rules, this Club World Cup will also use unprecedented new technologies for the first time, and FIFA is constantly breaking through the boundaries in technical applications.

5. The AI-assisted semi-automatic offside recognition system will be officially put into actual combat. Once a player crosses the defense line, has an offside range of more than 4 inches (about 10 cm) and participates in the game, the system will automatically send a signal to the assistant referee.

6. A rugby-like "referee perspective camera" will be introduced. The device will be installed on the referee's VAR communication device and located at the eye line height to provide the "referee angle" field of view.

Although these cameras will not be broadcast live in real time during the game, they will be used to provide a first-view image of goals or controversial penalty after the game.

7. The dialogue between the referee and VAR can still be played after the game, but the audience will be able to see the playback screen they watched on the sideline monitor in synchronization with the referee.

8. The substitution procedure will also usher in innovation. The coaching staff will get a tablet computer to directly submit information on exchangers without having to hand-written small notes to the fourth official to avoid the embarrassing scene of the substitution.

Finally, how do you evaluate these new rules?
