The new rule FIFA is discussing is the ‘game clock’. In this rule, the on-field referee and the fourth referee will have a clock to show the exact amount of time played. That is, as long as the ball is rolling in the field, the time will be counted as playing time. It will show on the referee’s watch. As a result, time will be deducted from the clock if the ball goes out of play or if the goalkeeper tries to waste time with the ball. This will result in a calculation of exactly 90 minutes. Hockey is played by measuring the time according to this rule.

They are checking that there is no deliberate time wastage.

FIFA came up with some technology to avoid wasting time in Qatar World Cup. There was the celebration of footballers after a goal, or how long the ball was out of the field before the throw was being counted. As a result, fans were surprised to see the added time in almost every match. Up to 14 minutes connection time was given. This time the connection time may increase with the technology that FIFA is going to bring.
