12 Measurements are from the outside of the lines as the lines are part of the area they enclose. The penalty mark is measured from the centre of the mark to the back edge of the goal line. Addition to the diagram on how to measure the distances for the markings

13 The technical area relates to matches played in stadiums with a designated seated area for team officials, substitutes and substituted players as outlined below: ( ) Reference to substituted players being allowed in the technical area.

14 The competition rules must state: How many substitutes may be named, from three to a maximum of twelve Whether one additional substitute may be used when a match goes into extra time (whether or not the team has already used the full number of permitted substitutes) The two-year experiment with a 4 th substitute being available in extra time has been successful. Regardless of the maximum number of substitutes allowed during normal time, this change gives competition organisers the authority to permit each team to use one additional substitute during extra time.

15 The use of any form of electronic communication by team officials is not permitted except where it directly relates to player welfare or safety or for tactical/coaching reasons but only small, mobile hand-held equipment (e.g. microphone, headphone, ear-piece, mobile/smartphone, smartwatch, tablet, laptop) may be used. A team official who uses unauthorised equipment or who behaves in an inappropriate manner as a result of the use of electronic or communication equipment will be dismissed from the technical area.

16 As it is impossible to prevent communication to/from the technical area and it is reasonable to have an exchange of information relating to coaching/tactics or player welfare (but not match officials decisions), the focus will move to the behaviour resulting from the use of such equipment.

17 When interpreting whether a slogan, statement or image is permissible, note should be taken of Law 12 (Fouls and Misconduct) which requires the referee to take action against a player who is guilty of: Using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or gestures Gesturing in a provocative, derisory or inflammatory way

18 Whilst religious and personal are relatively easily defined, political is less clear but slogans, statements or images related to the following are not permitted: Any person(s), living or dead (unless part of the competition name) Any local, regional, national or international political party/organisation/group etc. Any local, regional or national government or any of its departments, offices or functions Any organisation which is discriminatory Any organisation whose aims/actions are likely to offend a notable number of people Any specific political act/event

19 When commemorating a significant national or international event, the sensibilities of the opposing team (including its supporters) and the general public should be carefully considered. Competition rules may contain further restrictions/limitations, particularly in relation to the size, number and position of permitted slogans, statements and images. It is recommended that disputes relating to slogans, statements or images be resolved prior to a match/competition taking place. This guidance is to help competition organisers, national FAs and FIFA decide what can be visible on players equipment.

20 A player who enters without permission must be cautioned and if play is stopped to issue the caution, an indirect free kick is awarded from the position of the ball when play was stopped, unless there was interference in which case a direct free kick (or penalty kick) is awarded from the position of the interference. Clarifies the restart if a player returns without the necessary permission and interferes (consistent with Law 3).

21 Referees and other on-field match officials are prohibited from wearing jewellery or any other electronic equipment, including cameras. Clarifies that referees and other on-field match officials are not permitted to use or wear cameras.

22 Other match officials (two assistant referees, fourth official, two additional assistant referees, reserve assistant referee, video assistant referee (VAR) and at least one assistant VAR (AVAR)) may be appointed to matches. They will assist the referee in controlling the match in accordance with the Laws of the Game but the final decision will always be taken by the referee. The referee, assistant referees, fourth official, additional assistant referees and reserve assistant referee are the on-field match officials. With the exception of the reserve assistant referee, the on-field match officials assist the referee with ( ) The on-field match officials assist the referee with inspecting the field of play ( ) Distinction created between on-field match officials and the video match officials.

23 ( ); a short drinks break (which should not exceed one minute) is permitted at the interval of half-time in extra time. Allowance is made by the referee in each half for all time lost in that half through: ( ) Stoppages for drinks (which should not exceed one minute) or other medical reasons permitted by competition rules To avoid drinks breaks becoming length coaching (commercial) breaks, their length is limited/defined. This restriction does not apply to medical cooling breaks.

24 A goalkeeper who is unable to continue before or during the kicks may be replaced ( ) but the replaced goalkeeper takes no further part and may not take a kick. If the goalkeeper has already taken a kick, the replacement may not take a kick until the next round of kicks. Clarifies that if a goalkeeper is replaced and has taken a kick, the replacement may not take a kick in that round of kicks.

25 A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play: ( ) *The first point of contact of the play or touch of the ball should be used. Slow motion shows a detectable difference between the first and last contact with the ball so a definition of the precise moment that a ball is played is needed when judging offside position.

26 A direct free kick is awarded if a player commits any of the following offences: Bites or spits at an opponent someone Reference to biting (rare offence) as a direct free kick offence (and also in the list of sending off offences)

27 A player, substitute or substituted player who commits any of the following offences is sent off: ( ) Biting or spitting at an opponent or any other person someone Entering the video operation room (VOR) Inclusion of biting and entering the VOR as sending-off offences.

28 A direct free kick is awarded if a player commits any of the following offences: Throws an object at the ball, opponent or match official, or makes contact with the ball with a held object Handling the Ball Touching the ball with an object held in the hand (clothing, shinguard etc.) is an offence Hitting the ball with a thrown object (boot, shinguard etc.) is an offence Throwing an object at the ball or making contact with the ball with a held object becomes a separate category of offence and not part of handball so a goalkeeper can be penalised for such conduct in their penalty area.

29 A goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball when: The ball is between ( ) or by touching it with any part of the hands or arms except if it rebounds accidentally from the goalkeeper or the ( ) Goalkeepers often unsuccessfully attempt to catch/hold/stop or parry the ball but as this is a deliberate touch with the hand(s) they have technically controlled the ball so cannot pick it up. This is not the Law s intention and is not enforced; removal of accidentally clarifies the Law.

30 If the referee plays the advantage for an offence for which a caution/send off would have been issued had play been stopped, this caution/send off must be issued when the ball is next out of play, except when for the denial of an obvious goal-scoring opportunity results in a goal when the player is cautioned for unsporting behaviour. If the referee plays advantage for a DOGSO and a goal is scored it is a YC but technically if no goal results the Law said it should be a RC. This is never applied and is not seen as fair as applying advantage effectively means that a goal-scoring opportunity remains; consequently, a YC is the fairest sanction, whether or not a goal is scored.

31 Where two separate cautionable offences are committed (even in close proximity), they should result in two cautions, for example if a player enters the field of play without the required permission and commits a reckless tackle or stops a promising attack with a foul/handball, etc. Clarifies the action the referee should take where 2 clearly separate cautionable (YC) offences occur which may be linked, particularly when someone enters the field without permission (where needed) and then commits a cautionable offence. This principle also applies to sending off offences.

32

33 If an offence is committed outside the field of play against a player, substitute, substituted player or team official of their own team, play is restarted with an indirect free kick on the boundary line closest to where the offence occurred. Clarifies how the game is restarted if a player commits an offence off the field of play against someone from their own team (including a team official).

34 Direct and indirect free kicks are awarded to the opposing team of a player, substitute, substituted or sent off player, or team official guilty of an offence. The Laws permit substitutes, substituted and sent off players, and team officials to be penalised with a free kick for some offences.

35 At the moment of delivering the ball, the thrower must: Face Stand facing the field of play Clarifies that a player must stand to take a throw-in i.e. sitting or kneeling positions are not permitted

36 The Laws of the Game, amendments and AFC considerations are available on the Football West website under Referee Resources laws-of-the-game

38 Zero tolerance on Match Officials being approached at half-time and/or full-time Neither players nor team officials may approach a match official at any time before, during or after the match unless invited to do so by the match official in question.

39 Allowance is made by the referee in each half for all time lost in that half through: Substitutions Assessment and/or removal of injured players Wasting time Disciplinary sanctions Stoppages for drinks or other medical reasons permitted by competition rules Any other cause, including any significant delay to a restart This applies to all competitions except Juniors provided that there is no delay to the following fixture

41 Club Assistant Referees are there to assist the referee, by: Signalling when the ball is out of play (throw-in, goal kick, corner kick) Offering an opinion when a player is in an offside position and should be penalised Advise them that you will make the final decision on any opinion that they offer, and for them not to get offended if you happen to overrule them.

42 Players being substituted leaving the field of play at the closest point Be pro-active and do not allow players to delay the restart of play when being substituted Be aware of substituted players outside the field of play as they move to the technical area

43 Ask unacceptable behaviour Persistent questioning of refereeing decisions Continuously leaves the technical area and does not return (excludes instances where a Team Official inadvertently leaves the Technical Area to coach) Leaving the Technical Area in a non-confrontational manner (e.g. running down the touchline in excessive goal celebrations)

44 Tell Irresponsible behaviour Further acts of unacceptable behaviour after being asked Inappropriate language and/or gestures towards the match officials which are an obvious show of dissent, or an attempt to influence the decisions of match officials Sarcastic clapping and/or other gestures intended to undermine the authority of the match officials
