A new rule on communication between players and referees is being approved in the EPL

The English Premier League will see a major change in the way referees communicate with players from the 2025-26 season. According to it, only the team captain will have the right to speak directly to the referee from among the players playing on the field. This was reported by the famous British newspaper The Telegraph.

This initiative has already been used internationally. In particular, this procedure was last tested at the last European Championship and positive results were noted. Now it is planned to introduce this procedure in the English Championship.

It is said that the new rule is expected to be discussed and approved at the next official meeting of the EPL clubs, which will be held soon. This innovation is being introduced in order to increase the respect of players for referees, ensure order on the field and resolve controversial situations that arise during the game more quickly and easily.

At the same time, the new procedure is supported not only by the Premier League, but also by clubs from lower leagues in the English Championship system. They have also expressed interest in implementing this rule. This will serve to ensure that the entire football system in the country has the same order and discipline in the future.

There is another interesting feature in the new rules. If the team captain is a goalkeeper and has difficulty establishing constant communication with the referee, then clubs will be able to delegate the authority to communicate to another player on the field.

This new rule is expected to help improve the order of teams on the field and prevent conflicts in games. Referees will also be able to make decisions more accurately and quickly by communicating with only one player.
