FIFA updates rules before World Cup knockout
FIFA, the International Football Federation, plans to make a sudden change to the penalty shootout rules at the 2026 World Cup, aiming to improve fairness. The change involves allowing each team to choose whether to take the first or second penalty attempt in front of their fans, instead of conducting two draws to determine who goes first. The decision requires approval from the International Football Association Board (IFAB) before the knockout stage matches begin.
