Green light for four subs in Asian Cup

Next

year’s Asian Cup will allow a fourth substitute when games go to extra time, the Asian Football Confederation announced yesterday. The move follows a change to the official Laws of the Game, which was also implemented at this year’s World Cup in Russia.

“I am confident the new regulations will add to the excitement of Asia’s flagship national team competition and further strengthen the AFC’s ambitions to be the world’s leading Confederation,” AFC president Shaikh Salman Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa said. (AFP)
