FIFA is set to announce a new rule that will significantly alter the way players celebrate their goals. Under this rule, every second a player spends celebrating after scoring a goal will be added to the additional time at the end of each half.
The decision comes as a response to the increasing trend of Long celebrations, which have often caused delays in gameplay and disrupted the flow of matches. FIFA officials believe that excessive celebrations have been negatively impacting the overall experience for both players and fans.
The introduction of this rule aims to discourage players from engaging in extended celebrations, emphasizing the importance of prompt and efficient game. By adding the time spent on celebrations to the end of each half, FIFA hopes to encourage players to quickly resume the game, maintaining the intensity and rhythm of play.
This new regulation is expected to have mixed reactions within the football community. Supporters argue that excessive celebrations have indeed been a source of frustration, particularly when matches are close or time is running out. They believe that the rule change will help to keep the game fair and prevent unnecessary time wasting.
