The International Football Association Board, IFAB, has confirmed there will be several rule changes during the 2026 World Cup.
These include more powers for VAR, 10-second substitutions and clamping down on tactical timeouts.
The changes are expected to improve the quality of matches and also cut out time wasting.
Other new rules include:
Five-second countdowns for throw-ins and goal-kicks.
Red cards for players covering their mouths during confrontations.
Punishments for teams walking off the pitch in protest.
Mandatory one-minute off-field treatment periods.
