Because VAR Gets Things Too Right, IFAB Considering Massive Overhaul Of Offside Rule
MANCHESTER, England — When football's law-making body IFAB met last week, a decision that could massively impact the game at all levels passed barely noticed as the debate over VAR technology hogged the limelight.
Officials of IFAB, the International Football Association Board, made up of the four British home nations and FIFA, agreed to conduct a year-long review into the offside law, which is expected to end with a proposal for a new rule.
The implications were not lost on Mark Bullingham, chief executive of England's Football Association.
