A new rule regarding time-wasting during throw-ins was implemented for the first time in a recent match, potentially foreshadowing enforcement at the 2026 World Cup. During a game involving Bosnia and Canada, Bosnia was penalized for deliberately delaying a throw-in. This allowed Canada to capitalize on the resulting opportunity. The rule aims to discourage teams from excessively slowing down play through prolonged throw-in preparations. It marks the official debut of one of several new regulations designed for the upcoming World Cup tournament. The incident serves as a practical demonstration of how the rule will be applied during matches. This change is intended to increase the pace and fairness of gameplay.
