UEFA has released a new set of regulations ahead of the upcoming Champions League, Europa League and Conference League seasons.
The regulations stipulate that players are prohibited from handling the ball within the penalty area following a goal kick.
Any such handling will now result in a penalty being awarded, irrespective of the player’s intention to play the ball.
Roberto Rosetti, UEFA’s head of refereeing, disclosed this on Thursday during the Champions League draw held in Monaco.
