This is subject to the approval by the International Football Association Board, the game’s law-making body. It will then be at the discretion of individual competitions such as the Premier League or the Bundesliga whether or not to implement it.
The substitutions will be allowed at a maximum of three slots plus the half-time interval to avoid unnecessary stoppages.
The temporary dispensation on substitutes would apply to competitions which are either due to be completed or start in 2020 or 2021, so it would also apply to the 2020-21 season.
It will also cover all national team matches up to and including 31 December, 2021.
