In every country where football is played in the world, the most debated referee decisions are made on offside. Sometimes the fate of the league changes due to centimeters of offside. As of March 1, a new update is coming to the offside rule.

The International Football Association Board (IFAB) will meet in Glasgow, Scotland, on March 1 to discuss the new rule.

HERE IS THE NEW RULE

According to Fanatik, FIFA Development Director Arsene Wenger suggested that the World Cup should be held every two years, but this suggestion was not accepted. The French coach also made a suggestion regarding offside. According to Wenger's suggestion, if the attacking player's body is completely ahead of the last man, offside will be given.

SPECIAL LETTER TO THE TEAM

IFAB will discuss and decide on this issue on March 1. Thus, centimeter offsides will be shelved. In addition, the announcement of the referees' VAR decisions to the entire stadium will also be discussed.

THE OTHER TWO RULES

In addition to these two rules, two more rules will be discussed. The third rule on the agenda is the introduction of the Challenger system. Today, only referees have the authority to use VAR . With the Challenger rule, coaches, like tennis players, will have the option to request that a move they consider controversial be reviewed by VAR.

Finally, the fourth point to consider would be the possible introduction of the option of stopping the clock. As in rugby, referees can decide to stop the match clock in the event of a competitive situation or a serious injury. The aim, of course, is to avoid the numerous time losses in football and to prioritise real playing time.
