Changes in football with changes to penalty kick rules

When a penalty is taken, the ball must touch or pass the center of the mark. Until now, players have often placed the ball as far forward as possible, barely touching the line closest to the goal. Entry into the zone by players other than the author of the penalty will only be penalized if they have influence. Finally, unintentional punches are now treated as other fouls, meaning they no longer require ejection.

Despite the requests of some analysts and players in the game, the VAR protocol remains unchanged. The controversial blue card (exclusion of players for ten minutes) also does not work.

IFAB made the additional replacement permanent in case of brain disorder. Each league decides whether and when to implement this measure.
