New rule for substitutions in football
The new rule will come into effect next season 2020/2021, starting on September 12th.
Furthermore, only seven players will be allowed on the bench, instead of the nine that have been allowed during this period.
This rule was introduced to reduce the risk of injuries after football had been suspended for three months.
However, smaller clubs had complained that this extended the advantage of the big teams, with a deeper bench.
