The average duration of 36 matches in the English Football League last weekend was 1 4 minutes 8 seconds, a significant increase from 9 8 minutes 20 seconds last season. Now the referee will make up the time according to the exact time when the match stops and restarts, and the match time of the 2023-24 Premier League is expected to be extended by more than three minutes.
At the same time, according to the new rules, the referee will show yellow cards to those players who deliberately delay the match and do not respect the referee, and punish coaches and team officials who confront the referee and violate the referee’s personal space.
