Five substitutes to be written into football's Laws of the Game
five substitutes, introduced as a tweak to the rules because of the COVID-19 pandemic, will be formally written into the Laws of the Game at a meeting in Doha on Monday, the International Football Association Board (IFAB) said. Further discussions, and possible decisions, on concussion substitutes and semi-automated offside technology will also be on the agenda of governing body IFAB. A maximum of five substitutes per team, instead of three, had been allowed since the outbreak of the pandemic in 2020.
