USSF Law Changes
John White – Referee Instructor
USSF Law Changes

Law 8 – Start and Restart of play
(i) Dropped ball – Contested/Uncontested (submitted by FIFA)
 Proposed text
 Infringements and sanctions If the ball enters the goal:

if a dropped ball is kicked directly into the opponents' goal, a goal kick is
awarded
 if a dropped ball is kicked directly into the teams' own goal, a corner kick is
awarded to the opposing team
 Infringements and sanctions If the ball enters the goal:
 if a dropped ball is kicked directly (not touched by another player) into the
opponent’s goal, a goal kick is awarded
 if a dropped ball is kicked directly (not touched by another player) into the
team’s own goal, a corner kick is awarded to the opposing team
USSF Law Changes

Law 8 Changes
 Reason Law 8 – Start and Restart of play (dropped
ball
 The proposed new text will clarify the interpretation of
the word “direct” in the context of any player playing
the ball more than once and thereafter scoring a goal
without the ball being played by any other player.
USSF Law Changes

Law 11 – Offside Interpretation of the
Laws of the Game
(i) Discussion on “interfering with an
opponent/gaining an advantage” (submitted
by FIFA)
 Proposed text

USSF Law Changes

Law 11 – Offside Interpretation of the
Laws of the Game
the context of Law 11 – Offside, the
following definitions apply:
 “interfering with play” means playing or
touching the ball passed or touched by a
team-mate
 In
USSF Law Changes

Law 11 – Offside Interpretation of the
Laws of the Game
 “interfering
with an opponent” means
preventing an opponent from playing or being
able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the
opponent’s line of vision or challenging an
opponent for the ball.
USSF Law Changes

Law 11 – Offside Interpretation of the
Laws of the Game

“gaining an advantage by being in that
position” means playing a ball
(i) that rebounds or is deflected to him off the
goalpost, crossbar or an opponent having been in
an offside position
 (ii) that rebounds, deflected or is played to him
from a deliberate save by an opponent having
been in an offside position

USSF Law Changes

Law 11 – Offside Interpretation of the
Laws of the Game
A
player in an offside position receiving the
ball from an opponent, who deliberately plays
the ball (except from a deliberate save), is not
considered to have gained an advantage.
USSF Law Changes

Law 11 – Offside Interpretation of the
Laws of the Game
 Reason

The current wording creates many discussions as
it gives too much room for interpretation and is not
precise enough. The new text is more in line with
actual game situations and will eliminate the
confusion regarding what is meant by rebound,
deflection and when the ball has been deliberately
saved.
