the international football Federation (FIFA) announced, after the resumption of the season the number of substitutions allowed per team during the match will be increased from three to five. On it informs BBC News.

This change will affect all football competitions until the end of the calendar year. National leagues and other competition organisers will have to make their own decisions about the necessity of such a step.

the Changes will also be made to the system of videophones arbitrators (VAR). FIFA officials are concerned that the staff in charge of video replays will spend the entire match in a small room, and it puts their health in danger. The League will be able to abandon the practice of video replays.

the international football Association Board (IFAB) supported the proposed FIFA change.

At the end of April the FIFA for the first time proposed to increase the number of substitutions to ensure that players had more opportunities to get in shape after a long break because of the epidemic of the coronavirus.

Most football leagues have stopped holding matches due to pandemic coronavirus. However, next week should start the matches of the German Bundesliga.
