World Cup knockout shootout proposal
The international football governing body, FIFA, is studying the possibility of introducing a modification to the penalty shootout procedure starting from the knockout stages of the 2026 World Cup in North America, aiming to simplify procedures and promote fairness. The new proposal abolishes the current system involving two coin tosses, and instead employs a single coin toss in which the winner chooses either the team to shoot first or the goal to be targeted, thereby encouraging equal opportunities among the teams. The final decision rests with FIFA before the commencement of the tournament's knockout rounds.
