New Laws for Association Football (Season 2015-2016)
The Law has now changed so that players committing accidental fouls, that deny a goalscoring opportunity, are not automatically sent off but cautioned instead.
Players will still be sent off for holding, pulling or pushing not playing the ball or having no possibility to play the ball, serious foul play, violent conduct or deliberate handball.
The new laws state that the ball will be able to move in any direction from kick-off rather to only move forward.
Players who are injured by a challenge punishable by a yellow or red card can now have quick treatment on the field, rather than having to leave, which previously gave the offending team temporary numerical advantage.
