The International Football Association Board (IFAB) will analyze the "Wenger Rule" as one of the topics of discussion at its annual meeting in London on January 20.
İdman.Biz reports that if the initiative overcomes the initial obstacle and reaches the general meeting in February, its approval is highly likely. It is then planned to start its implementation in the next season (2026/27).
This was reported by As.
The essence of the proposal is that if a player is clearly and noticeably ahead with an active part of his body, gaining an opportunity to score, he will be declared offside. That is, a millimeter-level lead is not considered offside. In other words, a player is only considered offside if his body is completely ahead of the last defender.
The initiator of this reform is Arsène Wenger, the former head coach and manager of "Arsenal", who is currently the head of FIFA's global football development department.
