FIFA President Gianni Infantino rejects the blue card. Ifab rules committee decides against a new map and associated time penalties.
Goalkeepers will be allowed to hold the ball in their hands for eight seconds before teeing off, but under no circumstances longer. In the future, coaches will be able to replace players with a concussion, even if the replacement quota has been fulfilled. FIFA wants to try out these rules at the Olympic football tournament in Paris this summer. The changes cannot be permanently incorporated into the regulations until summer 2025 at the earliest.
