FIFA are close to introducing another major new change to the offside rule.
The proposal for the alteration was put forward by former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, who has been working as FIFA's Chief of Global Football Development for the past four years, having left the Gunners in 2018. He wants to adapt the rule yet again, this time changing what part of the body is uses to decide offside.
At the moment, a player is offside when they are in the opponents' half and, when the ball is played, any part of the body is closer to the opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent.
