Spanish Referees Committee Announces New Rules for 2026-27 Season

The Spanish Referees Committee (CTA) has published new regulations set to take effect in the 2026-27 season. The changes address various aspects of the game, including goalkeeper injuries, substitutions, and goal kicks. Notably, a rule regarding players covering their mouths, dubbed the 'Vinicius Law,' will result in a yellow card only in confrontational situations, differing from its application in the World Cup.
