Overview
- Gianni Infantino said FIFA is considering an offside reinterpretation that would penalize only when an attacker’s entire body is beyond the last defender.
- IFAB is expected to take up the 'Wenger law' on January 20 in London, with further discussion planned at a February General Assembly in Wales.
- Any change requires IFAB approval, with media reporting a possible introduction from the 2026–27 season if the proposal is cleared.
- Parallel reviews are examining VAR protocols, including potential interventions on corner and goal‑kick situations and on second yellow cards.
- Infantino also said measures to limit time‑wasting are under evaluation to keep matches flowing.
