Chinanews client May 9 (local time) On May 8, local time, FIFA announced that it will temporarily implement a new rule that allows each team to change up to 5 substitute players per game. At the same time, for the games using the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system, the organizers of each event will decide whether to temporarily suspend them.
FIFA wrote on its official website: "For games that have already started or are ready to start, and completed before December 31 this year, will be adapted to this temporary change of substitution rules. But in order to ensure the fluency of the game, each team can only play 3 substitutions (3 substitutions, a total of 5 substitutions), substitutions can also be made during intermission. "
