Question Number: 23655Law 1- The Field 7/12/2010RE: Beginner Under 19 Navroop Singh of Amritsar, Punjab India asks...What have been the latest reforms in football in terms of rules of play field ? Answer provided by Referee Joe McHugh Hi Navroop
A good question. Law 1 is one of the few Laws that has not been amended over many years. I believe that the late thirties was the last change to the Law with the addition of the penalty arc. There was an addition to allow a mark to be made 10 yards from the corner arc. There have been markings off the FOP to assist with determining encroachment at a corner kick.
