FIFA keeps shootout rules for 2026
FIFA has decided to retain the current penalty shootout rules for the 2026 World Cup and will not implement the simplified draw system that was proposed, in order to avoid any changes during the tournament. There was a discussion about replacing the two-stage draw system with a single draw between the team captains before the penalty kicks, but this proposal was not approved. The current version of the tournament had previously featured the use of a penalty shootout in the Round of 32, where Paraguay defeated Germany 4-3 after a 1-1 draw in both regulation and extra time.
