FIFA resolves dispute over Germany's disallowed goal
The International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) announced that the decision to annul Germany's goal against Paraguay in the 2026 World Cup has been clarified, following a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review due to an interference by Paraguay's goalkeeper, despite the contact being slight. The head of the Referees Committee confirmed that the new instructions require referees to intervene in cases where a player attempts to hinder an opponent's movement without trying to play the ball, especially to protect goalkeepers. These directives have been implemented to improve match performance and reduce time-wasting.
