Arsene Wenger's idea to replace throw-ins with kick-ins as a way to increase playing time is set to be trialled following discussions by the International Football Association Board at their annual general meeting.
The former Arsenal manager, who is FIFA's chief of global football development, has previously said that throw-ins and free-kicks are the biggest time wasters. Wenger is aiming "to make the game more spectacular and quicker" and has suggested players restart with their feet instead of a throw in a limit of five seconds.
IFAB - the rule-making group comprised of FIFA, The FA, the Irish FA, the Scottish FA and the FA of Wales - met in Doha, Qatar for their annual gathering, which was chaired by FIFA president Gianni Infantino, on Monday morning.
