Wenger's daylight offside trial unlikely to continue after mixed results

Arsene Wenger's "daylight" offside trial is unlikely to be extended following feedback from the International Football Association Board's assessment panels. The trial, which has been implemented in the Canadian Premier League, resulted in a 54% reduction in offside calls and introduced 13 additional goals. However, it also caused defenses to retreat three meters on average during the season. The Ifab meetings focused on various proposed rule changes, including adjustments for penalty shootouts and clarifications surrounding player injuries. These discussions mark the initial steps towards potential law adjustments for the 2027-28 season.
