Chilean football will adopt new regulatory changes inspired by those used in the World Cup, as announced by the Arbitration Commission led by Roberto Tobar. Clubs have been informed of these modifications, which include stricter rules around substitutions, delays during goal kicks, and medical attention for players on the field. Under the new guidelines, substituted players must leave the field within ten seconds, or play may resume without their replacement entering immediately. The new player would then wait one minute before joining the game. Deliberate delays during goal kicks or throw-ins will trigger a five-second countdown by the referee, resulting in a corner kick for the opposing team if the ball is not put into play in time. Players receiving medical attention must stay off the field for one minute after play resumes, except for goalkeepers or players injured due to a yellow or red card issued to an opponent. The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system will also gain additional responsibilities, including reviewing second yellow card dismissals deemed clearly incorrect and correcting cases where the wrong player was penalized.
