World Cup first use of One Minute rule impacts Chelsea player
During the Ecuador vs. Ivory Coast match at the 2026 World Cup, a new rule implemented by the FIFA International Football Association Council was enforced. This rule requires players who sustain injuries and stop play to stay off the field for one minute before returning. This was the first time the rule was applied in a World Cup. French referee François Letexier was the first to implement it, stopping Ecuadorian players Moisés Caicedo and his teammate Joel Ordóñez during the match, despite their protests. The application of this law resulted in Ecuador losing additional players after serving the one-minute suspension. In the end, Ivory Coast secured a 1-0 victory.
