According to some officials, penalty rebounds give the attacking team a greater chance of scoring a goal than the original infraction prevented. For example, Xabi Alonso's goal in the 2005 Champions League final was a notable instance of a rebound.

Another proposed change is to expand the use of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology. This could allow officials to review more situations, such as second yellow cards and corner decisions, to prevent unfair dismissals and ensure a fair game.

The IFAB will decide on these changes by the end of February next year. The outcome will have a significant impact on the sport, and it will be interesting to see how these decisions are made.
