JAKARTA - The 2022 World Cup is only eight days away. There are many rules that we must understand as spectators. One of them is about the penalty shootout. What do you think of FIFA regulations?

A few months ago, FIFA presented a regulation that will be implemented in Qatar 2022 and similar to other competitions: in the group stage, three points will be awarded if they win and one point if they draw.

In the knockout stages, in terms of a draw at the end of regular time, there will be an additional 30 minutes which is divided into two parts in 15 minutes each and if the draw continues, there will be a penalty shootout to determine the winner.

How will the penalty be taken in Qatar 2022?

Competition rules state that only players on the pitch before the end of the game will be allowed to take penalties.

This means that there will be no changes at the end of extra time, with the exception of the goalkeeper, provided the team wishing to make changes still have available changes.

Otherwise, goalkeepers must be outfield players and of course qualify as goalkeepers.

Both teams had to shoot with the same number of players available, namely if one team finished the game with less than 11 players, either injured or removed, another team had to eliminate as many players as needed to match the number of players they had in the opposing team.

In the event that after 10 shots (five per team) of matches are still on the draw, there will be a sudden penalty shootout, where each team will have one shot and the first team to finish behind at the end of the round will come out..

No players were allowed to fire twice until one of his other teammates, including goalkeepers, fired.

FIFA explained that these shots will not be counted in the goalscorer statistics of the players scoring.
