According to English media The Times and The Sun, the IFAB (the body that dictates the rules of football) is considering adding or modifying three current rules and launching them for the 2026 World Cup:

  1. the immediate stoppage of play following a penalty saved by the goalkeeper. If the goalkeeper stops an opponent's penalty, the action stops, and the shooter, their teammates, or opponents would no longer be able to enter the penalty area to retrieve the ball.
  2. the intervention of VAR to cancel an unjustified corner.
  3. the intervention of VAR to invalidate an unjustified second yellow card, which would mean a red card.

These three proposals are currently being discussed. They must first be proposed at the IFAB meeting next November before being put to a vote in March 2026. If accepted, these three new rules would become effective on June 1, 2026, just days before the kickoff of the 2026 World Cup.
