A board member at my local soccer club told me that the offsides rule has been modified. I searched on google and on FIFA's website and don't see anything about the actual rule. Just an article how Bournemouth was screwed. Can anyone give me an explanation or an actual link of the new rule. We are supposed to be implementing it in our league this year.
Thanks

Q&A: THE OFFSIDE RULE EXPLAINED
All you need to know about the new law

-How did the old rule work? Previously, a player was allowed to stand in an offside position as long as they were deemed to be not actively interfering with play.
-Meaning? Effectively, as long as a player did not touch the ball whilst in an offside position, the player would be not interfering, and would be onside.
-What's changed? A player will now be ruled offside if they clearly make an attempt to play the ball, or, if the offside player makes an action which impacts his opponent's ability to play the ball.

-Are any teams exempt from this change? Yes, Liverpool.

That's really not what the old rule meant. The wording really hasn't changed at all.

But what do I know? Maybe the EPL has been using a bastardized version of the FIFA laws for years.

That's exactly how it is now.

Isn't the new rule the old old rule?

Thanks for the replies. I am just curious why this isn't on the FIFA website or any other website making it official. I have always thought if you actually try and make a play for the ball and you are offsides then it will be called.

Say you are offsides and someone plays a through ball, the lineman will automatically throw up the flag. Most times the referee will stop play before you actually get a touch on the ball. What if I stop before I touch the ball and a teammate who was onsides beat the defender to the ball. The play would still be offsides.
I don't see what has changed.

That happened for Mexico a few years ago. Chicharito was off but didnt touch it. The goal was allowed i believe. Couldnt find a video. Anything that helps that trash team/country should be banned from the game. In fact, that trash team/country should be banned from the game. In further fact, that country should be banned.
