Football is set for a big shift as FIFA have officially approved a new offside rule.

Under the updated regulation, an attacker will now only be deemed offside if their entire body is ahead of the last defender. This means that if any part of the attacker’s body is in line with the defender, the player will be considered onside.

The change is expected to reduce controversial calls and allow for more attacking play, potentially leading to more goals and excitement in matches.

Many fans and players believe this update will bring fairness and clarity to one of football’s most debated rules.
