Según un informe al que ha tenido acceso The Sun, los rechaces en los penaltis podrían desaparecer, ya que se está estudiando una modificación en el reglamento. De aprobarse, la nueva norma entraría en vigor para la Copa del Mundo de 2026.
La propuesta establece que, tras un penalti fallado, el juego se reanude con saque de puerta para el equipo contrario, sin opción a aprovechar un posible rechace. Esta medida, aún pendiente de aprobación por la Junta Internacional de la FIFA (IFAB), cuenta con un respaldo cada vez mayor entre los dirigentes del fútbol, que consideran que el penalti debe convertirse en un único disparo, sin segundas oportunidades.
Uno de los argumentos principales es que, en la mayoría de los casos, la pena máxima otorga al equipo atacante una posibilidad de gol mucho mayor que la infracción que la originó. Además, se considera injusto que el equipo beneficiado por el penalti pueda obtener un rebote, sobre todo cuando el guardameta ya está limitado por la exigencia de mantener al menos un pie sobre la línea en el momento del disparo.
Otro aspecto que refuerza la idea es que, al tratar el penalti como una jugada cerrada, se eliminarían las polémicas sobre invasiones del área, ya que cualquier acción posterior al lanzamiento perdería relevancia.
Ampliaciones en el uso del VAR
En paralelo, se discute la ampliación del uso del VAR, una conversación que comenzó a finales de 2023 durante la reunión anual de la IFAB. La intención es permitir que los árbitros de la sala VOR intervengan en jugadas que hasta ahora quedaban fuera de su alcance, como las segundas tarjetas amarillas o los saques de esquina en caso de errores manifiestos del árbitro principal.
Aunque inicialmente estas propuestas se consideraron demasiado ambiciosas y fueron pausadas por temor a retrasos excesivos en el juego, la FIFA volvió a ponerlas sobre la mesa durante el reciente Mundial de Clubes celebrado en Estados Unidos.
Nuevas normas de la IFAB
Durante la última asamblea general celebrada en Belfast y a instancias del presidente de la FIFA, Gianni Infantino, se aprobó una nueva regla que afecta directamente a los porteros: el límite de ocho segundos para retener el balón en las manos. Esta norma, vigente desde el 1 de junio, incluye una cuenta regresiva visual de cinco segundos realizada por el árbitro con la mano alzada. Ya se ha aplicado en competiciones como la Euro Sub-21 y el Mundial de Clubes.
El 18 de junio, en Orlando, esta regla se aplicó por primera vez en un contexto oficial durante el encuentro entre Ulsan HD y Mamelodi Sundowns. El guardameta sudafricano Ronwen Williams, en un intento por perder tiempo con su equipo en ventaja, retuvo el balón más de lo permitido. Según el nuevo reglamento, esta infracción se penaliza con un saque de esquina a favor del equipo rival.
Por último, la IFAB también introdujo recientemente una aclaración importante sobre los penaltis con doble toque accidental. La medida surgió tras la polémica que rodeó al penalti ejecutado por Julián Álvarez en Champions League frente al Real Madrid, que terminó eliminando al Atlético. A partir de ahora, si un gol se anota tras un toque involuntario en el momento del lanzamiento, en lugar de anular la acción, el penalti se repetirá.

Early 2026 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Top 20 at first base shows where Rafael Devers lands at his new position
1 Drafted fourth overall in 2024, Kurtz stormed through the minors in just 33 games and then went on to deliver an all-time great rookie season -- one that included a four-homer game that may rate as the best of its kind. His rise to stardom came so easily that he might seem like the obvious choice to go No. 1 at first base, but a bloated strikeout rate makes for a too-good-to-be-true quality that will give some drafters pause.2 Guerrero just delivered what was pretty clearly the third-best season of his career, and while it made for a great batting average, the home run and RBI production didn't measure up to those of a top draft pick, particularly at this position. It continues the trend of Guerrero never quite living up to our hopes for him, apart from that […]
Early 2026 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Top 20 at third base shows Isaac Paredes, Max Muncy gaining ground
1 During a year when so many of the standard bearers at third base removed themselves from early-round consideration, Ramirez remained as studly as ever, opening up about as big of a lead as he's ever had at the position. If only he wasn't 33. 2 Caminero's first full season vaulted him into an elite group of sluggers, one of just three to hit 40-plus homers in his age-21 season. His batting average was about 100 points lower on the road than at the minor league ballpark the Rays called home, which raises some uncertainty with the team expected back at Tropicana Field next year. 3 Chisholm stands out all the more at second base, a position with even fewer early round-caliber bats, so if you're looking to target him as a rare power/speed threat at a position long devoid […]
Phillies-Dodgers NLDS: What we’re watching in the series, starting with Cristopher Sánchez
PHILADELPHIA — The man who was supposed to be starting Game 1 of the National League Division Series for the Phillies approached Cristopher Sánchez with a question during Thursday’s optional workout, which was attended by almost the entire roster.“Are you ready?” Zack Wheeler asked Sánchez.“Of course I am,” Sánchez said.AdvertisementTo Sánchez, there is something about this place. Nothing is guaranteed. But, since the beginning of the 2024 season, the Phillies have won 27 of the 33 times he’s started at Citizens Bank Park. There is a photo of Sánchez that lines the hallway from the clubhouse to the dugout, and he touches it before every start. He wants to feel the bones of this ballpark.“Knowing every inch of this stadium, I think those are extra motivations,” Sánchez said through team interpreter Diego D’Aniello. “Just the support that you get when […]
Aaron Boone fires back at Jays broadcaster who said Yankees ‘are not a good team’
TORONTO — Aaron Boone likely doesn’t watch many Toronto Blue Jays broadcasts. He’s usually busy managing the New York Yankees when they air. But Boone clearly heard what Toronto broadcaster Buck Martinez said about the Yankees last month. Ahead of an American League Division Series against the Blue Jays, Boone fired back.Advertisement“Contrary to some thoughts up here,” Boone said. “We’re a really good team.”The comment was clearly directed at Martinez’s comments on a Sept. 9 Sportsnet broadcast. Amid a Blue Jays contest against the Astros, the former Jays manager and long-time big-league catcher said the Yankees are “not a good team.”“I don’t care what their record is,” Martinez continued. “They have a lot of wild pitches. They make a lot of mistakes in the field.” "The Yankees, they're not a good team. I don't care what their record is. They […]
College football Week 6 betting notes: Expert finds betting value by analyzing spread trends
Throughout the years, I've been often surprised by how many handicappers attack the weekly slate of games looking for all sorts of angles and trends, many of them statistically-based, as they seek clues for the upcoming card. That's fine, but it should probably be accompanied by a simple measurable that can prove most beneficial to handicapping the upcoming slate of games, yet often overlooked. I have long believed that before tackling the weekly slate, a quick review of how teams are performing vs. the spread, specifically an easy-to-use list of current spread streaks, win and lose, should be the first step in scoping the weekly card. Why? Identifying just a handful of streaking point spread teams, win or loss, early in their ascents or descents, can often make the difference between a winning and losing season for the handicapper. There's nothing better […]
