SAS implemented changes in the Indoor 2020-2021 season that the professional levels introduced during their Outdoor 2020 season, including:
yellow cards and red cards for misconduct by team officials
a player being substituted having to leave the field of play at the nearest point on the boundary line
at a goal kick and a free kick for the defending team in their own penalty area, the ball is in play once it is kicked, i.e. it does not have to leave the penalty area
clearer wording for ‘handball’
attacking team players must be at least 1m away from a ‘defensive wall’
the goalkeeper only has to have one foot on the goal line at a penalty kick
a new dropped ball procedure
The summary and details of all Law changes can be found just below under IFAB/FIFA 2020 Outdoor season.
Failure to know the rules shall not be considered a defence.
