These changes, which will be implemented at the FIFA World Cup 2026™️ and all other competitions, respond directly to calls from stakeholders across the football community. The changes include a countdown for throw-ins and goal-kicks, time limited substitutions, off-field treatment and assessment and further VAR developments.
