Breaking : FIFA, Five substitutes to be allowed next season, IFAB announces

FIFA and IFAB have approved this Wednesday the possibility of making five changes in a game will continue for the whole of next season.
Football teams will be allowed to make five substitutions for the whole of the 2020-21 season, FIFA and IFAB have confirmed.
Each competition will be free to decide whether to implement the rule change or not.
One of the main reasons for this change was because of the lack of time between the end of the Champions League at the end of August and the beginning of the new season in September.

The main reason for the temporary amendment was the impact on player welfare of competitions being played in a condensed period and in different weather conditions,” IFAB said in a statement.
The IFAB Board of Directors had agreed to review whether to extend this option further. On the basis of this in-depth review, which included stakeholder feedback and an analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on competition calendars, the IFAB Board of Directors has extended the option to competitions scheduled to be completed by 31 July 2021 and to international competitions scheduled in July/August 2021,” it concluded.
