The new rules will apply from July 1 (tomorrow) and local players who are with the national team, Sihlangu, will be the first to play under the new rules as they will be enforced during the COSAFA Cup, starting July 5.<\/p>\n<p>The change of the three substitution slots rule was confirmed yesterday. In addition, the members decided to increase the maximum number of named substitutes listed on the team sheet from 12 to 15 at the discretion of the competition organiser.<\/p>\n<p>According to the fifa.com, these are the new rules that were approved yesterday where International Football Association (IFAB) accepted the recommendations from the annual business meeting (ABM), the meeting of the Football and Technical Advisory Panels (FAP-TAP), and the strong support from the entire football community, that this option be permanently introduced into the Laws of the Game 2022\/23.<\/p>\n<p><b>Clarifications<\/b><\/p>\n<p>At its 136th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in Doha, Qatar, The IFAB ratified the changes and clarifications to the Laws of the Game 2022\/23 which would come into effect from July 1, 2022. The AGM, chaired by FIFA President Gianni Infantino and attended by representatives from FIFA, The FA, the Irish FA, the Scottish FA, the FA of Wales and the IFAB administration, also discussed ongoing trials of concussion substitutes, possible alternatives to offside, and the latest technological developments to support match officials. Lack of respect for referees and their safety were identified as global problems.<\/p>\n<p><b>Potential<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The members agreed to establish initiatives to tackle these issues, including potential trials with body cameras, worn by referees in adult grassroots football. Meanwhile, temporary concussion substitutes were reconsidered, but the members agreed that the trials should continue to focus on permanently removing any player with an actual or possible concussion, to ensure that the player would not continue taking part in the match in question. It was agreed that further education was needed to ensure that the trial protocols were applied correctly.<\/p>\n<p>The IFAB said, where there was any doubt about a player having been concussed, the players should be protected by being \u2018permanently\u2019 removed from the match and to facilitate this, the player\u2019s team should not suffer a numerical disadvantage by prioritising the player\u2019s welfare.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, randomly interviewed local teams accepted the move to make the five substitutes permanent. \u201cThe first benefit of this move is injury prevention. Fitness levels will be obviously far from their peak when football teams return, and the possibility of using two additional substitutes allows for coaches to remain tactical while also substituting players who are at a higher risk of injury,\u201d said a local coach.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eswatini\">Eswatini<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
