Second yellow reviews: IFAB set to expand VAR rules
The International Football Association Board is reportedly preparing a new wave of refereeing adjustments that could significantly impact how matches are officiated.
According to reports from Marca, the updates may include an expanded role for Video Assistant Referee, allowing officials to intervene in more situations during matches.
One of the most talked-about proposals is the potential review of second yellow card incidents, a move that would mark a major shift from current VAR limitations.
There are also discussions around reviewing corner decisions, which could further extend VAR’s reach into regular gameplay.
In addition, stricter measures are expected to tackle time-wasting, particularly during throw-ins and substitutions, with harsher consequences for delays.
The changes are reportedly being lined up for debut at the next FIFA World Cup, with domestic leagues possibly adopting them as early as next season.
