The International Football Association Board will allow teams to make five substitutions per match when football returns after approving a proposal by FIFA.
The move is to help sides returning from football's coronavirus-enforced break. The rule will be in place for competitions scheduled to be completed this year but FIFA said it will assess with IFAB whether it should be extended into 2021.
Each team will be limited to three stoppages per match for substitutions, not including half-time, in a bid to prevent unnecessary stoppages.
Although IFAB has given the green light to the five-substitution rule, the decision on whether to apply it will remain at the discretion of the Premier League and each individual competition organiser around
