Nuevos cambios en el fútbol; el fuera de lugar es el protagonista
En el marco de la clausura del World Sports Summit en Dubái, el presidente de la FIFA, Gianni Infantino, ha sacudido los cimientos del reglamento deportivo al confirmar que la organización analiza formalmente una reforma histórica a la regla del fuera de juego. La iniciativa, conocida popularmente como la “Ley Wenger”, busca favorecer el espectáculo y reducir las polémicas milimétricas introducidas por el VAR.
TL;DR
- FIFA is analyzing a reform to the offside rule, known as the 'Wenger Rule'.
- The proposed change states an attacker is only offside if their entire body is ahead of the last defender.
- This aims to favor spectacle and reduce controversies from VAR.
- The International Football Association Board (IFAB) will discuss this in London on January 20th.
- If approved in February 2026, the rule could take effect for the 2026/2027 season.
- Other potential innovations include VAR for corners/goal kicks, review of second yellow cards, and an 8-second rule for goalkeepers.
- These changes aim to increase goals and game fluidity globally.
