IFAB make massive change to handball laws
IFAB make massive change to handball laws | OneFootball
The introduction of VAR has seen a number of football’s laws brought under the microscope, not least handball situations.
Thursday evening’s Premier League action saw Fulham have a goal chalked off for handball when the ball struck Mario Lemina on the hand before Josh Maja netted against Tottenham.

As of 1 July, that goal would still stand.
IFAB have moved to clarify the laws and accidental handball leading to a goal will no longer see the goal revoked.
“Accidental handball that leads to a team-mate scoring a goal or having a goal-scoring opportunity will no longer be considered an offence.”
Handball should now only be awarded when:
- a player deliberately handballs
- the ball touches the arm/hand when it has made the body “unnaturally bigger”
- a goal comes directly from a handball or immediately after a handball
