Matches at the upcoming World Cup will see more incidents reviewed by VAR, with a focus on quicker decisions to prevent frustrating delays for fans. IFAB is set to expand VAR’s remit to include second yellow card errors, wrong team punishments, and wrongly awarded corners. Player welfare concerns due to extended match times have prompted a new focus on reducing time-wasting and distractions. Additionally, IFAB will implement an eight-second time limit for goalkeepers holding the ball to enhance game tempo and entertainment.
