The new guidelines have been set by the International Football Association Board, the body mandated to make rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key among the new rules is a &#8216;greater allowance&#8217; for time lost due to goal celebrations. As such, there is a possibility of more time being added on at the end of each half if teams take longer to celebrate after scoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, as is now the case,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbrief.com\/facts\/top-listicles\/12268-who-top-10-goalkeepers-world-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">goalkeepers<\/a>\u00a0will no longer be able to cause any form of distraction to penalty takers when spot kicks are awarded, perhaps due to Emiliano Martinez&#8217;s antics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thirdly, reserve assistant referees on the sidelines will now equally have increased participation, receiving equal support and assistance as the primary on-field officials, commonly known as the &#8216;man in the middle&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fourth new guideline is that players can now avoid being yellow-carded for &#8216;unsporting behaviour&#8217; if they are making a deliberate attempt to play the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, there is the change to the controversial offside law. Under the new guidelines, a player who is &#8216;clearly offside&#8217; should not become onside every time an opponent moves and touches the ball.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sportbible\u00a0reports that next season will look a little different, with four new rules taking effect from August.
