Post-World Cup Changes in Türkiye

Türkiye, after its impressive performance in the World Cup, is implementing new rules in Süper Lig. The new rules announced by TFF include changes regarding players leaving the field.

Players Leaving the Field

According to TFF's new rules, a player who leaves the field after a referee's signal must leave the field within 10 seconds. If they fail to do so, the substitute player will not be able to enter the game for a minute after the game restarts.

Preventing Delays in Restarting the Game

To prevent delays in restarting the game, a 5-second countdown will begin as soon as the referee blows the whistle. If the coin toss is delayed, the coin toss will be given to the opposing team. If the penalty kick is delayed, a corner kick will be given to the opposing team.

VAR Interventions

VAR will intervene in cases of obvious errors in giving a second yellow card, obvious errors in giving a corner kick, cases where a goal or penalty kick is scored without the ball being played, and cases where the referee incorrectly gives a yellow or red card to a player.

Yellow Card for Ağız Kapama

Ağız kapama will be considered a yellow card. If the player's statements are found to be insulting during the post-match investigation, disciplinary action will be taken by the disciplinary committee.

Water Breaks

Water breaks will only be applied if the temperature is 32 degrees or higher. The referee will ensure that the break does not exceed three minutes.

Current Situation

In conclusion, Türkiye is implementing new rules in Süper Lig after the World Cup. Changes regarding players leaving the field, preventing delays in restarting the game, and VAR interventions will affect Türkiye's football developments.
