2. Notes on the Laws o the Game Modications

To discuss a new text proposal in order to clariy the text presented to the IFAB during its 125 th AGMsubmitted by The Football Association

Any or all o the ollowing modicationsare permissible:

size o the eld o play size, weight and material o the ball width between the goalposts and

height o the crossbar rom theground

duration o the periods o play substitution

Subject to the agreement o the member associationconcerned and provided the principles o these Laws aremaintained, the Laws may be modied in their applicationor matches or players o under 16 years o age, orwomen ootballers, or veteran ootballers over 35 yearso age and or players with disabilities.

REASONWe understand that the concern and reason why a previous proposal was not approved was because it wasunclear that the proposal related to recreational ootball only.

We are thereore submitting the above proposal which we hope makes it clear that the dispensation applies to

recreational ootball only.

The appropriate way o dening recreational ootball is to use the word amateur which is consistent with thedenition o amateur in the FIFA Regulations or the Status and Transer o Players and its commentary.

The denition in the FIFA Regulations is outlined in Article 2.2 Page 10 which states a Proessional is a playerwho has a written contract with a club and is paid more than the expenses he eectively incurs in return or hisootballing activity. All other players are considered as Amateurs.

The commentary in Para 2.1 o Article 2 Page 12 states an Amateur is a player who pursues sport just orun or as a hobby, without any material gain, and who has never received any remuneration other than orthe actual expenses incurred. Furthermore, he basically has no written contract with the club with which he is

registered. The social aspect o participating in the group lie o the club as well as his own health and tnessplay a predominant role or an amateur player.

Permitting modications to the Laws regarding substitutions in amateur/recreational ootball will help withthe growth and retention o players within amateur/recreational ootball. The change will allow memberassociations more exibility to encourage people to take up the sport or to continue their participationin recreational ootball without aecting the proessional game in any way. We also suggest that such amodication not be permitted or a member associations most senior domestic competitions where such acompetition is solely amateur and the proposed amendment makes that clear.

3. Law 3 The Numbers o Players

To discuss a new text proposal, ollowing the decision o the IFAB to present it at the 126 th AGMsubmitted by FIFA, with amendments by the Scottish Football Association


I a named substitute enters the eld o play instead o anamed player at the start o the match and the reeree isnot inormed o this change:

the reeree allows the named substitute to continue

the match no disciplinary sanction is taken against the namedsubstitute

the number o permitted substitutes allowed by theoending team is not reduced

the reeree reports the incident to the appropriateauthorities.

REASONIt is not rare that a substitution is made prior to the start o the match and ater the reeree has been inormed o thenames o the players and substitutes. This is normally due to an injury o a player during the warm-up. I the reeree is

inormed o the substitution, this is permitted but it is necessary to clariy how to proceed i the reeree is not inormedo the change.

4. Law 3 The Numbers o Players

Number o substitutionsTo discuss a new text proposal, ollowing the recommendation by the FIFA Task Force Football 2014submitted by FIFA


Ofcial CompetitionsUp to a maximum o three substitutes maybe used in any match played in an ofcialcompetition organised under the auspiceso FIFA, the conederations or the memberassociations.

Ofcial CompetitionsUp to a maximum o three substitutes may be used in anymatch played in an ofcial competition organised underthe auspices o FIFA, the conederations or the memberassociations.An additional ourth substitution may be used during extratime.

REASONThe FIFA Task Force Football 2014, the Medical Committee and the Football Committee support the proposal in orderto maintain the technical level until the 120th minute and to protect the health o the players as a means o preventinginjuries.

5. Law 4 The Players Equipment

To discuss a new text proposal or the use o tape on socks

submitted by The Football Association


stockings - i tape or similar material is appliedexternally it must be the same colour as that parto the stocking it is applied to.

REASON

An increasing number o players are using excessive amounts o tape externally on their socks. This can be a multitudeo colours and, as can be seen rom the ollowing slide, it completely changes the look o the sock. This can causeconusion particularly or assistant reerees who may need to look at the sock to determine who last played the ballbeore it has gone out o play.

6. Law 8 The Start and Restart o Play

To discuss a new text proposal regarding the restart o play with a dropped ballsubmitted by The Football Association


Inringements and sanctionsThe ball is dropped again:

Inringements and sanctionsThe ball is dropped again:I the ball enters the goal:

i a dropped ball is kicked directly into theopponents goal, a goal kick is awarded

i a dropped ball is kicked directly into theteams own goal, a corner kick is awardedto the opposing team

REASONThere have been a number o occasions where goals have been scored rom uncontested dropped balls. This has puta great deal o pressure on the reeree as he has to allow the goal to stand. We then have the unseemly situation wherethe opposition allow the team to score rom the kick o without any players trying to stop them in order to rebalancethe game.

7. Law 12 Fouls and Misconduct

The use o the word blatantsubmitted by FIFA


Disciplinary sanctionsThere are circumstances when a cautionor unsporting behaviour is required whena player deliberately handles the ball, e.g.when a player:

deliberately and blatantly handlesthe ball to prevent an opponentgaining possession

Disciplinary sanctionsThere are circumstances when a caution or unsportingbehaviour is required when a player deliberately handlesthe ball, e.g. when a player:

deliberately and blatantly handles the ball toprevent an opponent gaining possession

REASONIt is more important to punish the consequence that the hand ball created rather than the act that it was blatant.In act, a hand ball could be inconspicuous but certainly very important. Furthermore, it is difcult to dene what ismeant by blatantly p.113 and thereore to have a uniorm interpretation, especially by reerees rom dierentcountries or continents, with very dierent experiences. Deleting the word blatantly, and providing that i the hand

ball prevented the opponent rom gaining possession the player must be cautioned, makes the interpretation easierp.117.

8. Law 12 Fouls and Misconduct

Sending-o OencesTo discuss a new text proposal, ollowing the recommendation by the FIFA Task Force Football 2014and discussion at the IFAB ABM on 4th October 2011

submitted by FIFA


A player, substitute or substituted player issent o i he commits any o the ollowingseven oences:

denying the opposing team a goal

or a goal-scoring opportunity bydeliberately handling the ball thisdoes not apply to a goalkeeperwithin his own penalty area.

denying an obvious goal-scoringopportunity to an opponentmoving towards the players goalby an oence punishable by a reekick or a penalty kick.

A player, substitute or substituted player is sent o i hecommits any o the ollowing seven oences:

denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity to

an opponent moving towards the players goal byan oence punishable by a ree kick outside thepenalty area.

denying the opposing team a goal or a goal-scoringopportunity by deliberately handling the ball thisdoes not apply to a goalkeeper within his ownpenalty area.

denying an opponent an obvious goal-scoringopportunity by holding or an oence committedrom behind inside his own penalty area when hehas no opportunity to play the ball.

REASONThe triple punishment penalty kick + red card + player suspension or a player who denies an obvious goal-scoringopportunity to an opponent moving towards his goal by an oence punishable by a penalty is widely considered to betoo severe.A player would still receive a red card or denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity outside o the penalty area aswell as or denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball, by holding or an oencecommitted rom behind inside his own penalty area when he has no opportunity to play the ball.A penalty kick and a yellow card would be enough sanction or other oences that deny an obvious goal-scoringopportunity committed by a deending player inside his own penalty area.

I the previous amendment is approved, the ollowing proposal will be submitted by FIFA:

Law 12 Fouls and MisconductCautions or unsporting behaviour page 117


There are dierent circumstances when aplayer must be cautioned or unsportingbehaviour, e.g. i a player:

Commits in a reckless manner oneo the seven oences that incur adirect ree kick

Commits a oul or the tacticalpurpose o interering with orbreaking up a promising attack

There are dierent circumstances when a player must becautioned or unsporting behaviour, e.g. i a player:

Commits in a reckless manner one o the sevenoences that incur a direct ree kick

Commits a oul or the tactical purpose o intereringwith or breaking up a promising attack
