November 29 – The lawmakers of world football have approved proposed trials whereby only the team captain may approach the referee, and for sin bins to be tested at a higher performance level.
The measures by the International FA Board aim to improve participant behaviour and increase respect for officials.
It was agreed 10-minute sin bins “for dissent and specific tactical offences” should be trialled at higher levels following their successful implementation across 31 leagues in England at grassroots level from the 2019/20 season.
