FIFA retains penalty rules for 2026
FIFA, the International Federation of Football Associations, has decided to retain the current penalty shootout rules for the 2026 World Cup after discussions about an alternative, yet-to-be-implemented system. No changes were made to the two-stage draw process or to the method of selecting which team kicks first, in order to maintain the consistency of the decisive moment in matches and to avoid making adjustments during the tournament. The idea of replacing the draw with a coin toss between team captains before penalty kicks was proposed, but it was abandoned to ensure the continued use of the current system.
