8-second rule at FIFA Club World Cup 2025, Explained: Why was Ulsan awarded a corner against Mamelodi Sundowns?
South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns opened its FIFA Club World Cup 2025 campaign with a 1-0 win over South Korea's Ulsan FC on Tuesday. Iqraam Rayners scored in the 36th minute which was enough for the South African side to clinch all three points in the Group F match. During the match, the new eight-second rule for goalkeepers was seen being implemented. In the 83rd minute, the Sundowns 'keeper Ronwen Williams was deemed to have held the ball for longer than the prescribed eight seconds. ¡LA REGLA DE LOS 8 SEGUNDOS SE APLICA POR PRIMERA VEZ EN EL MUNDIAL DE CLUBES! ⏱️ El portero tardó en sacar y Turpin, siguiendo el reglamento, lo sancionó con córner en contra 👀@FIFACWC | Todos los partidos gratis en — DAZN Fútbol (@DAZNFutbol) June 18, 2025 This saw the on-field referee, Clement Turpin, award a corner to Ulsan. What is the new 8-second rule for goalkeepers? In a move to prevent time wasting, the International Football Association Board (IFAB) announced a new rule which would see goalkeepers who hold onto the ball for longer than eight seconds concede a corner. On-field referees will be aided in their decision-making by a visual five-second countdown. What was the previous law? Law 12.2 states that a goalkeeper has six seconds to release the ball before the opposing team is awarded an indirect free-kick but this has now been amended and the change will come into force next season. The new rule is said to implemented worldwide from July 1 onwards but the same is being applied to the revamped FIFA Club World Cup being held in the United States of America. What are the other new rules at FIFA Club World Cup 2025? ALSO READ | What's new at FIFA Club World Cup 2025? Innovations and rule changes explained Along with the eight-second goalkeeper rule, the other new directives include referees wearing body cameras, advanced semi-automated offside, ruling around a double touch penalty kick, and others.

FIFA Club World Cup 2025 begins, but why is it flying under the radar?
The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup opened with a burst of glamour as Lionel Messi took center stage at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The Argentine superstar led Inter Miami in a goalless draw against Egypt's Al Ahly, drawing a massive crowd despite failing to find the back of the net. Watching from the VIP stands were football legends David Beckham, Ronaldo Nazário, Roberto Baggio, Kaka, Bebeto, and Javier Zanetti, adding star power to the tournament's launch. Despite the lack of goals, fans turned out in large numbers, eager to see Messi in action on home soil. FIFA President Gianni Infantino, who has championed the expanded Club World Cup as a legacy project, was also in attendance and looked pleased with the tournament's kickoff. Infantino's Ambitious Vision Infantino's strategy to boost the Club World Cup's stature includes allowing MLS champions Inter Miami a special entry as host nation representatives, a reported invitation to Cristiano Ronaldo, and raising the winner's prize money by $35 million. He called the event 'the beginning of a new chapter' in global football. Yet, just three days in, the competition has yet to match its lofty billing. While top clubs have shown flashes of brilliance, several issues have begun to surface. Heat and Scheduling Draw Criticism Player welfare has been a growing concern, with mid-day matches scheduled under extreme heat. During the PSG vs Atletico Madrid clash in Pasadena, temperatures soared to 31°C (88°F). Coaches and players noted the weather's impact on gameplay. FIFA has implemented cooling breaks and additional substitutions, but players' unions like FIFPRO have criticized the tournament's timing, citing increased risks of injury and mental burnout following a long season. Mismatched Contests Raise Eyebrows Sunday saw Bayern Munich dismantle Auckland City 10-0, highlighting the disparity between elite European teams and clubs from smaller federations. Auckland, made up largely of semi-professionals, struggled against a full-strength Bayern side. More one-sided encounters are anticipated as teams like Benfica and Boca Juniors face similarly lower-ranked opponents. While opening matches featuring Messi and PSG attracted huge crowds, other games painted a different picture. Chelsea's fixture against LAFC in Atlanta had only 22,000 fans in a 75,000-seat stadium. Flamengo's match in Philadelphia saw a turnout below 40%, and Seattle's game drew similar numbers. Although FIFA announced that over 1.5 million tickets have been sold and fans from 130 countries are attending, the lower-than-expected attendance for some matches hints at the challenges of sustaining momentum throughout the tournament.

While John Stones is with the team despite lingering injury issues, Mateo Kovacic is set to miss the match entirely due to a heel injury.

New signings Bart Meijers, Stephane Aziz Ki, and experienced winger Nordin Amrabat, who previously played for Watford and Hull City may make their debut in the upcoming game.
