The Premier League is not expected to opt in to VARs being able to rule on incorrectly awarded corners

Corners and second yellow cards will be added to the scope of the video assistant referee (VAR) for this summer's World Cup.

Measures to address loss of tempo in matches and cut down on time-wasting will also be introduced, including new countdowns on goal-kicks, throw-ins and substitutions.

The International Football Association Board (Ifab) approved the proposals at its annual general meeting at Hensol Castle in Wales on Saturday.

The changes will come into force from June 1 and apply for the 2026-27 season.
