Some rules of the game that will come into force on July 1, which is when the 2023/24 season officially starts, and that do not bring major relevant news.
Additional people on the pitch
Until now, when a team scored a goal, and a substitute player or official of the team that scored the goal was within the field of play, the goal could not go up on the scoreboard. After what happened in the World Cup final, in which Argentina scored a goal with some substitute players on the pitch who were already celebrating ahead of time. Marciniak decided to ignore the rule, given the relevance of the action, and that is why the IFAB changes the text of the rule so that in this way, if the goal can be scored despite the invasion of the field of play, always and when there is no direct interference.
Reserve assistant referee
This referee who does not exist in League matches, but who in certain competitions, such as a Copa de Rey final, if they are appointed, until now had the sole function of replacing an assistant referee who suffered an injury Well, now the rule is modified so that they can also assist the referee if he saw any notable action in breach of the rules of the game, until now he could not do so.
Goal celebration
As we saw in the World Cup with those heart attack added times, in which the referees took into account the goal celebrations to decide the time to add. Well, the IFAB now contemplates these celebrations in its writing to take them into account to add more effective time to the matches. It is possible then, that this new season we will have added times in the League like those of the World Cup.
The offside
Without any major modifications, the IFAB once again turns the page over to the text to make it even clearer, especially with the issue of deflections and rebounds from defenders when the ball then goes to a player who was in an illegal position . Basically, with the new text it tries to make it clear that practically nothing enables the attacker. To enable it, the defender must play with absolute control of his body in a timely manner. It is something that is already being applied, but now they are trying to clarify it even more in the rule.
The coach, responsible for the bench
Although it is something that is already being applied, the IFAB emphasizes in the text of the rules that the coaches are the most responsible for the benches, this means that if a ball is thrown from the bench onto the field of play in order to attack or If an obvious chance of scoring is cut off and the refereeing team cannot identify the culprit, the expelled person will be the coach as the person in charge of the bench.
Psychological warfare on penalties
You want to root out the psychological warfare in penalties, especially the one that the goalkeeper usually initiates with the shooter, and in which defenders sometimes also participate, the referee must admonish those who initiate these practices.
