What happened

Israeli football is introducing new rules from the next season, including a 10-second limit for substituted players to exit, mandatory one-minute off-field time after injury treatment, stricter penalties for time-wasting, and expanded VAR review cases.

01Substituted players must leave the field within 10 seconds or face delayed entry and possible yellow card.
02Injured players treated on-field must stay off for one minute after play resumes, except for fouls with cards.
03Deliberate delays on throw-ins or goal kicks can lead to possession switching to the opponent.
04No cards will be issued if advantage leads to a goal after a foul preventing a clear scoring chance.
05VAR reviews will now include mistaken second yellow red cards, wrong corner calls, and fouls before set pieces leading to goals or penalties.
06Players covering mouths or protesting by leaving the field won’t be automatically sent off but may receive yellow cards for unsporting behavior.
