5 subs in football matches to be allowed on a permanent basis
The Hindu
The measure was introduced in May 2020 so teams could cope better with the congested schedule when football resumed following a suspension due to the coronavirus
The temporary move to give teams the option of making five substitutions per game instead of three should take effect on a permanent basis, football’s lawmakers recommended.
The measure was introduced in May 2020 so teams could cope better with the congested schedule when football resumed following a suspension due to the coronavirus. In May, it was extended for a further 18 months, until the end of 2022, when the World Cup in Qatar will be completed.
The International Football Association Board's advisory panel said there had been “a number of requests from confederations, associations, leagues and other key stakeholders for this option to be introduced permanently.” Competitions can decide if they want to increase the number of substitutes from three to five “according to the needs of their football environment,” an IFAB statement read following a virtual meeting chaired by FIFA.
