FIFA intends to change offside rules

International Football Federation (FIFA) is going to amend the rules for determining the position of “offside”.

According to the source, the federation is discussing the introduction of an “obvious gap” between the players. Thus, the offside will be determined only if the attacking player is in front of the defender with his whole body.

If FIFA approves this idea, the proposal will be sent to the International Council of Football Associations (IFAB) for testing and approval.

At the moment, the “offside” position is fixed if the attacking player is in front of the defender with any part of the body that can score a goal.
