New changes in rules of football

The number of substitutions allowed in football matches will increase from three to five as part of a change to the rules of the Beautiful Game, Report informs, citing The Mirror.

The International Football Association Board (IFAB) ratified the adjustment during a meeting in Doha, the capital of Qatar. The five substitutions rule was originally introduced in May 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Premier League then reverted to only allowing three subs, becoming the only major competition to do so.

In a fresh development, the IFAB has decided five substitutes should be allowed on a permanent basis and will alter the laws of the game to reflect this. This comes three months after Premier League clubs voted to reintroduce the rule, starting from the beginning of the 2022/23 season.
