New Football Rules Adopted By UEFA by faaz24: 9:53am On May 22, 2019
THE NEW FOOTBALL RULES HAVE BEEN ADOPTED BY UEFA TOO !
The new rules are as follow –

Attacking players can no longer infiltrate defensive walls of three or more players at free-kicks. Instead, the attacking side must be at least one metre away from the wall or concede an indirect free-kick.
.........
Goal kicks and free-kicks inside your own box no longer have to leave the penalty area to be “in play” – although the other side are not allowed inside the area until the ball has been made live.
...........
Drop balls can now be given straight to the goalkeeper if play was stopped inside the box. Outside the box, the ball will be dropped for the team that last touched it and all other players from both teams must be four metres away.
.............
If an attacking player uses his hand/arm to either score or create a goal-scoring chance, even if accidentally, it will be a handball offence and the goal wiped out.
........ .
Any incident of the ball striking the arm ABOVE shoulder height will be handball, unless the player kicks/heads it against themselves.
............
Handball will be deemed if any player has made themselves “unnaturally bigger” – e.g by throwing their arms out.
..........
At a penalty, the goalkeeper now needs to have only one foot on the line when the kick is taken. Keepers are not allowed to touch the post, bar or net before the kick is taken.
...........
A substituted player MUST leave the pitch at the nearest point, rather than only on half-way as before. This should cut down time-wasting.
............
Coaches and managers will now be handed red and yellow cards at all levels for misconduct. This happened in the EFL this season but not the Premier League.
...............
The side winning the toss will have choice of kick-off OR ends.
.............
In a change to Uefa regulations, up to 12 players will be allowed on the bench for European finals.
........

JUST one of the new rules comes into effect for June 1.

Both sides will be able to name up to 12 players on the bench in Madrid – although both sides are expected to stick with seven players.

The rest rules will all come into operation for the 2019/2020 season.
