FIFA trials new rules at Gulf Cup 27
The International Football Association (FIFA) has approved the trial of two new rules during the Gulf Cup "Gulf 27," aimed at reducing time-wasting and illegal interventions during set-piece executions. The first rule concerns punishing goalkeepers who simulate injury to stop play, granting the coach or team captain a 10-second window to choose a player to leave the field for one minute; if no action is taken, the captain is required to leave the pitch. The second rule relates to preventing defenders from pushing during set pieces, especially when the attacker intervenes before scoring. The implementation of these two rules is expected to raise questions about referees’ standards in distinguishing real injuries from time-wasting attempts, and how these decisions will be executed during matches.
