Israeli Football Association Weighs Water Breaks in the Premier League
The Israeli Football Association is considering adding water breaks to the Israeli Premier League, following the example set at the World Cup. According to a report by Sport 5 on Wednesday evening, officials are monitoring the tournament’s use of water breaks to determine whether the rule can be adopted in Israel as early as the coming season.
Association sources said the move has clear advantages and drawbacks, and the federation is now assessing whether the rule change would suit Israeli football. The final decision is expected after the World Cup ends, when the association will decide whether to implement it domestically.
Officials are also waiting for FIFA’s conclusions on whether the measure has been successful or unsuccessful, including its impact on clubs, players and fans. No final decision has been announced yet.
