1 min read
After the general meeting organized by IFAB, a new regulation was made in the rule of substitution in football.
Accordingly, players who suffer injuries due to a head collision on the field can be removed from the game even if their teams have the right to change during the match and another player will be included in the field.
The rule change will be valid from January. In order to prevent abuse of the rule, if a team makes an extra substitution for this reason, the opposing team will also be able to benefit from this practice during the match.
In the statement, it was stated that after long-term interviews with healthcare professionals, it was decided to change the rules on this issue, so that it was aimed that the teams would not struggle with the missing players on the field due to injury.
