FIFA explained that each team will be allowed to use a maximum of five alternatives, to reduce game disruption, each team will have a maximum of three opportunities to make replacements during the match and additional changes can be made between the two halves of the match, and if both teams make a substitution at the same time, this will be considered as one of the opportunities Three for each team.

Unused substitutions are also carried over to overtime, when competition rules allow for overtime overtime replacement, each team will have one additional overhang opportunity other than the legal five; it can be made before the start of overtime or between two rounds.

This comes due to the extension of many patrols that will be resumed to the summer, when the weather conditions will be harmful to sports, which makes FIFA conduct many temporary regulations in order to preserve the health of players, especially as this would reduce the chances of infection.

The new law also aims to prevent players from suffering injuries due to the long pause period they have been subjected to, especially since a number of confrontations will take place in short periods of time..

However, the changes will not be made five times in each match, but in three moments of the matches at most, where two switches will be made together at a certain time and two switches at another time, and a switch at a new time, so that the game is not stopped repeatedly.

As for what FIFA does not think about right now, it is the FA’s proposal to play matches less than 90 minutes, as they believe this will distort football and kill the spirit of competition..
