3🔍 Why it matters — what to watch for
A measure against slow substitutions late on, brought in for 2026/27 (and used at the 2026 World Cup). Take longer than 10 seconds and the replacement can't come on until the first stoppage after a minute has passed, leaving the team a player short. Excessive delay can also mean a caution.
On broadcasts“He's walking off slowly on purpose… that could even be a caution.”
