Update to Laws of the Game
Law 11 – Offside
“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.
Law 11 – Offside
“Gaining an advantage by being in that
position” means playing a ball…
1. That rebounds or is deflected to him off
the goal post, crossbar or an opponent
having been in an offside position; or
2. That rebounds, is deflected or is played to
him from a deliberate save by an
opponent having been in an offside
position.
Law 11 – Offside
“Gaining an advantage by being in that
position”
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.
Law 11 – Offside
• The current wording creates many
discussions … 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.
Law 11 – Advice to Referees
• The act of challenging an opponent for
the ball while in an offside position is now
clearly incorporated into interfering with
an opponent.
• The reworking of the definition of gaining
an advantage does not call for any
change in the way referees should have
been implementing this concept.
