This Saturday, a rule change in soccer from the 2025-2026 season was announced by the IFAB, the body responsible for the sport’s regulations. Journalist Fabrizio Romano reported on this change for goalkeepers.
It’s an interesting idea, designed to avoid time-wasting and make the game more fluid. But we’re still waiting to see how far it will be applied, given that time for goalkeepers is already limited and penalties are very rare. But we’re sure that the game will speed up, as it would be a shame to concede a decisive corner simply to save time.
