Rule Makers Consider Throw-In Time Limit

Oct 29, 2025

The International Football Association Board – which comes up with the rules of the game – is looking into the possibility of imposing a time-limit on throw-ins.

It comes amid a surge in long-throws in the Premier League this season, which often involves lengthy preparations that sometimes take as long as free kicks.

This has led to a drop in the amount of time the ball is actually in play…raising concerns among the sports’ administrators.
