jane white of glasgow, scotland asks...

do the rules for penalty shoot outs change in the world cup finals?

Answer provided by Referee Michelle Maloney

The procedures for the Kicks from the Penalty Mark are set out in the Laws of the Game and do not change for the World Cup, unless a new Law change has been approved by FIFA and allowed to take effect early for the competition. It is possible that local leagues use a slightly different procedure that what is set out in the LOTG.
