Ifab

Ifab, the International Football Association Board, is the body responsible for overseeing the rules of football (soccer). Comprised of representatives from FIFA and the four British football associations, Ifab plays a crucial role in the development and modification of the Laws of the Game. Recently, Ifab made headlines by introducing a new rule to combat time-wasting by goalkeepers, allowing referees to visually count down the remaining seconds after three seconds of holding the ball. This decision reflects Ifab's ongoing efforts to enhance the flow of the game and ensure fair play.
