FIFA plans penalty shootout rule change
The article discusses FIFA's plan to modify the penalty shootout rules ahead of the Round of 32 at the 2026 World Cup. The proposed change would allow only a single draw to determine the order of kicks and the goal to target, instead of the current two draws. The aim of these adjustments is to reduce overlap and to give teams greater control over the penalty shootout process during knockout matches. The modifications are pending approval from the IFAB Council.
